The Future Horizons Scholarship is funded by Hope Horizon Mental Health (HHMH) to help graduating seniors in Tulare County achieve their educational and career goals. This scholarship provides financial assistance to youth who have faced difficult circumstances, mental health challenges or received mental health care (either currently or in the past). The mission of the Future Horizons Scholarship is to empower these young people to pursue higher education or vocational training, creating pathways to a future of growth, opportunity, and success. Priority consideration is given to applicants who have faced difficult circumstances, mental health challenges or received mental health care, with highest priority given to current or former clients of Hope Horizon.

For the 2026–2027 academic year, individual scholarship awards range from $500 to $5,000. Funds awarded through the Future Horizons Scholarship are intended to support recipients’ educational needs. Prior to disbursement, recipients must provide proof of enrollment in a college, university, or trade school for the 2026–2027 academic year. Tuition-related funds will be sent directly to the recipient’s educational institution and may be applied toward tuition and/or housing expenses, while support for additional required costs, such as textbooks, laptops, and other academic materials, will be provided through direct purchase of approved items.
