While the Kiwanis Club of Glendale
has offered scholarships to graduating
eighth-graders and high school
seniors who live in the 11385 zip code
since 1954, the organization needed
to come up with a new way to do so
this year because of the COVID-19
pandemic.
In the past, the club has hosted annual
Scholarship Dinners to award
students who are in good academic
standing, have participated in community
service, have a financial need,
and will be attending high school
or college. But this year, members
decided to cancel the event, instead
choosing to personally deliver each
award recipient a sign to display, a
certificate and their award.
In total, the club awarded $10,000
worth of scholarships.
See the list of scholarship winners
below.
