120 graduating seniors at Culver City High School and Culver Park High School have been selected by individual donors and organizations to receive scholarships totaling $150,000. The scholarships are administered through the Culver City Community Scholarship Fund, a nonprofit volunteer organization. Awards will be presented on Monday, June 6, at 7:00 p.m. at the Robert Frost Auditorium.
Donors include a wide variety of service clubs, businesses, parent organizations such as PTA, and employee organizations from the school district and the city, as well as individual and memorial scholarships. Donors are able to set their criteria, which may include academic status, financial need, career goals, or Culver City schools attended.
There are two ways to donate to the fund. An individual, organization, service club or business can create a named scholarship in the amount of at least $500 and then a representative will select their recipient from among the applicants. The donor presents the scholarship at an awards ceremony in June. In addition, the Scholarship Fund accepts tax-deductible donations of any amount, which are used to provide for students in great financial need who did not receive a named scholarship.
For direct donations, checks should be made out to Culver City Community Scholarship Fund and sent to Culver City High School, 4401 Elenda St., Culver City, CA 90230, attention Margaret Fujisawa, College Career Center.
