About Matt and the Scholarship
The Matthew Margolin Memorial Scholarship is awarded annually to as many as three applicants and can vary from $250 to $1,000 a year. Although he lived in the Bay Area, Matt volunteered in our community for many years, spending time at Casterlin School, the Osprey Learning Center, and the Alderpoint Community Center when it was open.
Who is eligible to apply?
If you have any tie to the Blocksburg, Calif. area, we will consider your application — even if you lived here when you were seven or your great-great-great-great grandpa was here in 1910. Preference will be given, however, to people who currently live in our community. Adults returning to school may also apply. The scholarship is intended to help students attending any higher institute of learning, whether it be junior college, trade school, university, or another type of learning establishment. It exists to help people follow their passions and dreams.
