Dr. Barnett Grier and Eleanor Jean Grier Scholarship

Community Foundation Serving Riverside and San Bernardino Counties

The Dr. Barnett Grier and Eleanor Jean Grier Scholarship Fund is the legacy to their efforts to ensure equality in education, housing, employment, and opportunity for underrepresented and disadvantaged citizens in Riverside. Outstanding graduating seniors from high schools within the City of Riverside are eligible to apply. The scholarship is open to students from all backgrounds regardless of age, race, religion, gender, sexual preference or national origin. Recipients receive a one-time scholarship award of a minimum of $1,000 to an accredited public or private institution of higher learning. The scholarship awards are outright grant awards. No services will be required as a consequence of receiving the award. Scholarship awards are for tuition, books, education fees, and living expenses. Applicants will be judged on a variety of criteria, including academic achievement, leadership in school activities, commitment to the community, character, determination and financial need.
