The ISAC Scholarship applications are distributed and posted on the ISAC website in September, and a copy appears in the ISAC magazine. Applications are due in mid-December. We usually get between 90 and 100 applications. The scholarships are funded by the ISAC Education Foundation. A large part of the funds are gained from the annual ISAC Scholarship Golf Fundraiser. The 2017 ISAC Scholarship Golf Fundraiser was held at the Toad Valley Golf Course in Pleasant Hill on August 2, 2017.
