Custom Patches San Diego Scholarship

This is a real program, but some details for the current cycle are not published or not yet confirmed. Check the official source before you plan around it.

Award

$1,000 USD, one-time award

Deadline

October 1, 2026

How to apply

The sponsor requires an original essay and says AI-generated or plagiarized work is ineligible, but provides no essay prompt, word limit, application form, or submission address on the official page.

Who can apply

Applicants must be at least 18 and be U.S. legal residents or hold a valid student visa. The main rules allow those accepted to a full-time accredited U.S. college, university, or trade school, while the fine print says applicants must already be enrolled. High-school senior eligibility is therefore unclear.

Good to know

High-school senior route not confirmed.
