Education Scholarship Program

The City of Vista is seeking proposals from organizations with established educational scholarship programs to partner with the City in providing academic and vocational scholarships for residents of the City. The City has $80,775 in funding available, with individual requests ranging from $10,000 to $30,000. The contract term is one year, and funds must primarily cover tuition, equipment, and other related educational costs, with up to 10% allowed for administrative expenses. • The City is looking for organizations with a minimum of three years of experience implementing scholarship programs. • The selected organization will be required to submit quarterly financial and program demographic reports. • The organization must have a financial system in place to track City of Vista funds separately from other funding sources. • The organization must have sufficient funds to sustain the scholarship program for the amount of time the program is designed to operate. • The organization must provide a detailed budget and project narrative, including a plan for the funds requested and how scholarships will be tracked.
