About RCSF

Promising futures since 1966

A 501(c)(3) non-profit connecting Redlands students with the generosity of their community.

Our Mission

The Redlands Community Scholarship Foundation is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to expanding educational opportunities for graduates of the Redlands Unified School District. We administer the scholarship application and award process and responsibly steward the donations, bequests, endowments, and other resources entrusted to us, connecting community generosity with students pursuing college, university, vocational training, and other educational pathways.

Our Origin

Founded in 1966 by community-minded Redlands residents, the Redlands Community Scholarship Foundation began as a way to honor respected educator and civic leader Kenneth Hurlbert while helping local students continue their education. From its earliest scholarships, RCSF has grown through the generosity of individuals and organizations who believe in investing in the aspirations of young people throughout the Redlands Unified School District.
