Pajaro Valley Pride was created by a group of Watsonville residents who serve the LGBTQIA+ community. We want our young leaders to thrive, and we want to support them by providing them with some of the resources needed to help them achieve their long-term goals. We build bridges with the general community in South Santa Cruz County through our annual Pride Event and by collaborating with local community organizations on events throughout the year.
This year, Pajaro Valley Pride will award scholarships ranging from $500-$2000 (depending on availability) to students based on their academic successes as well as their involvement in social justice activism either on their school campus or in the community. Scholarships will be awarded regardless of citizenship.
