Cal Farley’s commitment to young people doesn’t end the day they graduate high school and move on to college or trade school. On the contrary, we maintain a connection with those we serve, and invest in their future by helping them pursue educational success and a smooth transition into independent adult life.

Each year, Cal Farley’s awards needs-based scholarships to alumni for expenses incurred at a trade school, junior college or university. To qualify, alumni must have lived at Boys Ranch for 20 months and have graduated or completed their plan of service goals. He or she is interviewed by a scholarship committee and must maintain a minimum 2.0 grade-point average, along with a consistent course load and make regular contact with our alumni-services team.
