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.
