Gone & Here Annual Scholarship
Gone & Here, a San Diego-based 501(c)(3), supports local youth who have been affected by a loved one's suicide.
Gone & Here provides scholarships, frontline resources, design work, and research on affective complexity and grief in order to help young people process the trauma and loss they have endured so they can move forward and lead healthy and successful lives.
This scholarship aims to uplift the youth and raise awareness of mental health crises by supporting students who have lost a sibling due to suicide.
Any person between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five who is currently in school or planning to enroll in the future may apply for this scholarship if they have lost a sibling to suicide and if they reside in California, but applicants in San Diego are preferred.
To apply, tell us your story, including the difficult parts of navigating your grief, how this loss has impacted you, and how you believe education will play a role in your future journey.
Losing someone to suicide is a profoundly difficult and personal experience—one that reshapes the way we see the world and ourselves. Grief can be isolating, complicated, and unpredictable, and yet, in the process of moving forward, we find ways to carry love, memories, and meaning with us.
For this scholarship, we invite you to share your story. What has been the most difficult part of navigating your grief? How has this loss changed you? And as you look ahead, how do you see education playing a role in your journey forward?
