Welcome to Paradise Scholarship Foundation

A high school diploma is a good start, but folks in the Paradise Scholarship Foundation are doing their part to ensure that ridge graduates have a chance to go beyond high school and add a college degree to their future. Each year dozens of Paradise-area students receive scholarships to help them in their college careers, thanks to the work of the Paradise Scholarship Foundation and its donors.

Formed in 1956, the Paradise Scholarship Foundation awards college scholarships to students attending Paradise High School and Ridgeview High School.

Scholarships are based upon academic performance, financial need, test scores, an essay and an interview. While the majority of the scholarships are for awarded for one year, two students are selected annually for four-year renewable scholarships.

Community members, service organizations and businesses support the foundation with their donations, gifts and bequests. The Paradise Scholarship Foundation is a not-for-profit, public benefit corporation; all donations to the foundation are tax-deductible.

The Paradise Scholarship Foundation is funded entirely by our community for our community’s public high school students. Each gift helps ridge students create a successful future.
