Scholarships and Grants
SDEA annually offers scholarships for members and members’ dependents. The Dependent Application is for graduating seniors and current college-enrolled students, who are dependents of a current SDEA member. The Member Application is for current SDEA members who wish to further their education.
These scholarships are made possible by member contributions. If you would like to contribute, you can authorize a monthly donation online via DocuSign (or download the form as a PDF here.) Click here to learn more about the scholarship selection process!
