We are thrilled

to announce the launch of our highly anticipated scholarship program at Moving Forward! As part of our ongoing commitment to empowering and supporting the youth in our community, we have established this program to provide deserving individuals with the opportunity to pursue their dreams and unlock their full potential.

Moving Forward believes

the youth of our community have the power to make Richmond a better place through projects that promote health, academics, and community service.

Moving Forward is offering scholarships to students who currently reside in Richmond, CA or the surrounding area (i.e., El Sobrante, San Pablo) and/ or attend a high school in Richmond. These students must show a record of volunteerism and be on the path to higher education. Those who fit the following criteria may be eligible to receive a scholarship.
