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!

“Kiwanis has enabled me to chase my dream of becoming a biomedical engineer without the financial burden of university. Their support empowers me to excel academically and give back to the community that has helped me so much. I’m excited to one day make improvements in healthcare and have a real, positive impact on the lives of others—all of this within my reach thanks to the generosity of the Kiwanis community.”
MICHAEL MACDONALD
4-Year Scholarship
“The Kiwanis scholarship not only eased the financial burden of attending college, but also allowed me to focus on my studies and extracurricular activities without the constant worry about tuition fees. The support from Kiwanis has empowered me to pursue my passion for finance, and to get deeply involved in my new community.”
DR. MEGAN PETERSON BOYLE
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!
