The Maisin Scholarhip Program Awards $1,500 to 75 San Francisco Public High School Seniors

The Alexander M. and June L. Maisin Foundation launched the Maisin Scholars program in 2000, with the first 50 scholarships of $1,000 each awarded in June of 2001. The program has expanded to now offer 75 scholarships of $1,500 each year to students graduating from any San Francisco Unified School District high school who have financial need and the ambition to continue their education.

Since the outset of the program, the Maisin Foundation has made a commitment to support each Maisin Scholar up to four years of college.

The Maisin Scholar Award helps students overcome the financial obstacles that stand in between them and their pursuits of higher education.

The Maisin Scholar Award was created because we believe every young person has unlimited potential to succeed when they are amply supported and provided equal access to opportunity. Understanding that education is pertinent to achieving one’s goals, Maisin Scholars are students who clearly demonstrate their commitment to their education and have articulated their pathway to realize their dreams.

No student should miss out on a meaningful education, solely because they lack financial means or an exemplary academic record. The Maisin Scholar Award aims to offer support when there may be none, open doors when they may seem closed, and help to remove obstacles that may stand in the way of youth and their dreams. The Maisin Scholarship is managed and administered by the San Francisco School Alliance.
