Future funding of the San Pablo Scholarship Program
Summary
The scholarship program has awarded 381 scholarships worth $381,000, but the federal ARPA money runs out at the end of 2026. The city manager says a possible November sales tax measure could fund it for ten more years; the mayor wants staff to first look at trimming existing programs before asking taxpayers for more.
