The Workers’ Children’s Fund’s James Dugish Scholarship Fund, named for a much-beloved social worker and supervisor from San Francisco DHS who is now deceased, provides modest financial assistance to college-age students that are now receiving, or have received services from DHS. The scholarship is intended to supplement a student’s funding, to help with any uncovered expenses, including those small extras which they may not otherwise by able to afford, such as books, clothing, late-night pizza during a study session, or participation in extracurricular activities.

“I was a very lucky and blessed person indeed to have been able to be a recipient of your organization.”
- Gabrielle, college graduate, former foster youth, and WCF scholarship recipient

“First I got to take karate class, and now I’m taking trumpet lessons. It’s fun and I hope I can keep playing.”
- Maurice, age 10

“Thank you for this wonderful scholarship because it makes it possible for me to attend college. One thing I learned in college is that every penny counts!”
- Vitaliy, Freshman at UC Santa Cruz.
