SIS recognizes the talent, commitment to service, and the financial needs of young women.  One way we support our mission is through annual scholarships.  Each year, SIS offers scholarships to women who attend college or university in the greater Sacramento area or women who attended high school in the greater Sacramento area and are attending college or university elsewhere.

The application is now available. Use this link to access: SIS Scholarship App 2025-26
