KIWIN’s, Key Club, Circle K Scholarship Applications
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

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. To be eligible, a completed application, including all of the required attachments, must be postmarked by the due date for each year.

News from a Scholarship Recipient
Hello Joyce!
I just wanted to email you to tell you about my first semester at Northeastern so far and all of the things that have been happening up to this point. First of all, Boston is everything I expected it to be and more; I really couldn’t be happier here. The fall has been beautiful and the weather here is amazing. I’m really looking forward to the winter, even though my mom is still convinced that I will freeze to death.
Anyways, moving onto the actual school part, I really enjoy it here. I find myself a lot more interested in the actual curriculum than I was in high school as I get to learn about the things I want to do with my future, which can be really exciting to think about. I’ve been doing well and getting good grades which I hope to keep up next semester as next year, I will be getting ready ready to go on what’s called a “co-op” at my school. Basically, students get the opportunity to work full-time with a company for a given semester and we get school credit for it as well; I’m really hoping to get a position with the Red Sox as I am somewhat of a baseball geek. Also, speaking of baseball, I made the university club team like I was hoping and have had a blast playing baseball with a great group of guys.
Lastly, I just wanted to thank you as well as the the rest of Kiwanis so much for the scholarship. Worrying about paying tuition can be really stressful, but with you and the club’s kindness and generosity, I have one less thing to worry about, and it has truly been a gift that I will not forget. Words can not express how much this means to me. I hope you are having a great fall so far, and I wish you and the club well for the holiday season.
Thank you so much,
