It’s that time of year again!
As high school seniors are getting anxious for their school year to end, they are also getting excited about completing scholarship applications, with the hopes of easing the financial burden of their college educations.
Students like Frances Lee – a recipient of one of the Foundation’s 2016 scholarships – credits Key Club as a learning platform on how to stand up for what she strongly believes in. Read more from Frances.
Even though scholarship recipients like Frances find our scholarships extremely valuable, the number of scholarship applications we receive has significantly decreased. In attempt to reverse this trend, we ask that you volunteer your time-or ask your SLP advisor-to assist a Student Leadership Program student in completing the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation Scholarship Application. Learn more about our scholarships.
Scholarship applications must be submitted online by February 13th to be considered for judging. Your immediate attention to this request would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for all the support your Kiwanis club provides to our Service Leadership Programs. Our young people represent the very best of our Kiwanis world.
With warm regards,
Bob Erikson
SLP Scholarship Committee Chair

Scholarship application period is now open! Apply through March 29, 2016.
The Kiwanis Club of Rolling Hills Estates offers a number of scholarships to deserving high school seniors from the local South Bay area. Scholarship awards are based upon academic achievement, service and personal merit. We hope to reward students who have shown special “heart” in their endeavors. The scholarship application offers a “merit only” option as well as a “merit and financial need” option. In addition to Kiwanis Club Scholarships, other awards are given in honor of outstanding former Kiwanis members. For example, the Cliff Welsh Memorial Award is given for service to the community through Kiwanis sponsored youth programs, including Key Club and KIWINS.
