Summary
Ten Santa Monica PAL students are set to transform their futures with over $31,000 in scholarships from the Chris Carrey PAL Education Fund—ranging from $1,500 to $6,000 each—designed for high school juniors and seniors who are serious about college and need the support. Eighty percent of this year’s recipients hail from the historically underserved Pico Neighborhood, making this award not just financial aid, but a powerful affirmation of their potential. Since its founding in 2002, the fund has awarded more than $475,000 to help first-generation college aspirants. Established in memory of Chris Carrey—a beloved local who served the community through PAL and dreamed of becoming a chef—this scholarship program continues his legacy by empowering young people to chase their dreams. As PAL Director Eula Fritz puts it, these awards are more than cash—they’re a community vote of confidence in these students’ futures.
