About

Sausalito Woman’s Club Scholarship Recognition Fund (SWCSRF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting higher education for students from Sausalito and Marin City.

Founded in 1956 as the charitable arm of the Sausalito Woman’s Club, SWCSRF is entirely volunteer-run and funded by the generosity of local residents and club members.

Our mission is to foster education by recognizing academic potential and offering scholarships to students in need—especially those facing financial challenges.

SWCSRF scholars reflect the diverse aspirations of our community. Their achievements span fields such as education, healthcare, law, science, technology, and the arts. Whether pursuing degrees at four-year universities, graduate schools, vocational programs, or technical and art institutes, our scholars embody the values of perseverance, purpose, and community spirit.

Together, we are building a legacy of opportunity—one scholarship at a time.
