NEARLY 40 YEARS OF SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS

We launched our scholarship program in 1986 with one award for $500 and big plans… and never looked back. In 2024, we awarded over half a million dollars in scholarships to deserving students to assist with their college tuition, books and fees!

4-Year Scholarship

“I received a Kiwanis Scholarship in 2005. Along with other academic awards it allowed me to complete my education debt free. I was able to attend the prestigious pre-dental program at the University of the Pacific because of the aid from Kiwanis. I now serve as a dentist and love giving back to the community that raised me. Thank you, Kiwanis!
