The Kiwanis Club of Rolling Hills Estates values academic achievement, service and “heart” in selection of scholarship recipients. A perfect grade point average is not required. For 20 years, the student AND their parent(s) or guardian have been honored at the annual Scholarship Awards Celebration.

Continuing scholars represented; CSU Dominguez Hills; the Fashion Institute of Design and Marketing; Marymount California University; Stanford University; and West Virginia University.
