Candidates were selected based on their demonstrated academic achievement, financial need, community service, and school service.
The recipients, along with their family members, were invited to a Zoom meeting at a recent Rotary Club of Simi Sunrise breakfast. During the meeting students had the opportunity to share their ambitions for their future along with where they will be pursuing their next level of education.
The Simi Sunrise Rotary Club raises money for the scholarships as well as other local and international charities through various fundraising events. This is just one example of the many ways that the Rotary Club of Simi Sunrise gives back to the community.
Other fundraisers include the annual Happy Face Music Festival, Simi Valley Oktoberfest, golf tournaments, auctions, and a bowling event focused on ending polio.
