Rio Hondo Community Development Corporation is inviting local students and adult learners to apply for its 2026 Housing For All Scholarship, a program designed to support higher education and career training across the San Gabriel Valley.

The nonprofit will award 10 scholarships of $1,000 each. Two awards are reserved for adult students who are resuming or continuing their education. The application deadline is March 31, 2026.

Scholarship Supports Local Students

The Housing For All Scholarship is open to local students pursuing college, trade school or career training programs. Adult learners who are returning to school also qualify. Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to their education and future goals.

According to Rio Hondo CDC, the scholarships help cover tuition, books and school supplies. The program recognizes recipients as Housing For All Scholars and highlights their educational achievements.

Rio Hondo CDC, based in the San Gabriel Valley, works to expand access to affordable housing, financial education and community development resources. The organization partners with residents, local agencies and housing advocates to strengthen neighborhoods and promote economic stability.

Adult Learners Encouraged To Apply

This year’s program continues dedicated support for adult learners. Two of the 10 awards will go to students who are returning to complete degrees or pursue new career pathways.

Rio Hondo CDC leaders say adult students often balance school with work and family responsibilities. The scholarship aims to reduce financial barriers and provide recognition for their efforts.

The Housing For All Scholarship reflects the organization’s broader mission to support housing stability and long term economic mobility. Education plays a key role in that effort, particularly for families seeking greater financial security.
