The 1849 Foundation and our partners have joined together to offer over $90,000 in scholarship awards. Since 1996, we have helped deserving Sacramento students pursue their dreams while paying tribute to the Sacramento Police Department men and women who served the citizens of Sacramento, some making the ultimate sacrifice.
