Last year we kicked off a meaningful neighborhood initiative, the Dolores Heights Scholarship for Mission High.. Thanks to the generosity of this community we were able to give three seniors from the class of 2025 $5000 each to help with the expenses related to heading off to college. All three were the first in their families to attend college, all headed to UCs. We recently heard from Flory Lopez, now in her first year at UC Berkeley, who told us:

“The scholarship was very helpful for me during my first year of college. With the money that was provided, I was able to buy a new computer, which has been really important for keeping up with my coursework, writing assignments, and staying organized with my classes. The extra financial support also helped relieve some of the stress that comes with starting college and paying for school supplies and other academic needs. It made my transition into my first year much smoother, and I’m really grateful for the support from the community.”

We’re now raising money for the 2026 scholarships! 

The Dolores Heights Scholarship for Mission High School

These $5000 scholarships will be awarded to three 2026 Mission High graduates who have been accepted to four year colleges, to help them cover the incidental costs and life expenses that might otherwise stand in the way of helping him or her get there.
