OBJECTIVE
The objective of this Scholarship Fund is to partner with civic-minded,
financially needy, mission-focused individuals and help enable their
educational, professional, or vocational visions at their choices of
schools, apprenticeships, internships, colleges or universities towards
the successful occupational growth of these individuals in the Brea
community.
The current version of
the application for scholarship funds will be available on the website of
the Kiwanis Club of Brea (Club) and by written request to the Club.
Only the completed application found on the Club website should be
submitted. Do not submit resumes, transcripts, letters of
recommendation, or any other documentation.
Applications submitted by residents or students in Brea
will be accepted for review and consideration. Applications may be
submitted throughout the year, however, the formal decision process will
occur at the date determined each year by the Club Board so as to be
completed by August 1 of each calendar year.
