The Resident Scholarship program supports the education of Public Housing residents and Section 8 tenants with financial assistance to pursue higher education at a 4-year university, community college, or vocational training program.
In 2018, LACDF awarded over $24,000 in scholarships to 26 Public Housing and Section 8 participants seeking higher education. Awardees were recognized during the 2018 Reality Check Conference held at The California Endowment Center in Los Angeles on July 19, 2018.
This year’s awards were made possible through the generous donations of the California Community Foundation, Edison International, and employees of the Los Angeles County Development Authority.
