Each year, the Simi Valley Education Foundation grants five deserving students scholarships so that they can attend college, technical or vocational schools. One student is chosen from each of the four local high schools -- Apollo High School, Royal High School, Santa Susana School High and Simi High School, and one from Moorpark Community College.
The Simi Valley Education Foundation is committed to supporting the continuing education and success of our students. By providing financial support, the Foundation ensures that our students are able to pursue their goals and dreams.
This Endowment Program is established to honor the wishes of the original donor to provide community college scholarships for students who cannot afford to fund their own education. These recipients are to be individuals who have shown to have a strong desire to succeed by educating themselves. The intent is that these scholarships will offer an opportunity or turning point in a young person’s life that inspires them to go on to be an asset to our community.
The Simi Valley Educational Foundation (SVEF) will be awarding two-year community college scholarship this spring for students enrolling in a local community college in the fall of 2008. Two-year scholarships will be awarded to a total of three high school graduates selected from the four high schools in the Simi Valley who will be attending a local community college on a full time basis (minimum of 12 semester units). Each individual two-year scholarship will be for the sum of $1,000 for the first year and after verification of the successful completion of at least 24 semester units, the student can apply for the second year allotment
