T.O. Kiwanis Offers $1,000 Scholarships for Seniors Heading to Local Colleges
In an effort to support local high school seniors who plan to live at home while attending a commutable community college or four-year university, the Thousand Oaks Kiwanis Club is offering eleven $1,000 scholarships for students attending Thousand Oaks, Westlake, or Oak Park high schools.
The $11,000 in scholarships will be distributed into five different types of awards: Ashcraft scholarships (five of them) are for math/science majors from any of the high schools; Sprankling scholarships are designated for Key Club student members at WHS, OPHS and TOHS (one for each school); Two Hyink scholarships are designated for metal-working students at TOHS (may also be used for vocational school); and finally, one Gwen Huffer scholarship will be awarded to a TOHS female planning to major in the healthcare field.
It is not required that students attend a local college, but preference will be given to those who are planning to stay local for their post-high-school educational pursuits. Winners will be awarded their $1,000 check in May at a regular meeting of the TO Kiwanis Club.
Application packets are available on the TOKiwanis.org website under the menu dropdown title “What We Do” – then “Scholarships.” Or email the scholarship committee chairperson at scholarship@tokiwanis.org for more information or an application. Deadline for receipt of applications via email or ground mail is April 15, 2022.

Tips on Scholarship Aid Searches (excerpt from University of California Counselor Bulletin)
The winter break is a great time for students to search and apply for “outside scholarships".
There are many FREE resources available to students. As students search for outside scholarships, be advised that students should never pay for scholarship information.
Listed below are 9 reputable scholarship sources:
1. Current information at the high school or community college
2. The financial aid office at each UC campus
3. The U.S. Department of Labor’s FREE scholarship search tool
4. The public or school library’s reference section
5. Foundations, religious or community organizations, local businesses, or civic groups
6. Organizations (including professional associations) related to their field of interest
7. Ethnicity-based organizations
8. The student’s or their parents’ employer
9. Scholarship web search engines
Scholarships vary in size, applications requirements, and deadlines. Students should apply broadly and continue the process of searching and applying for scholarships throughout their academic career.
