On Saturday, May 25th, the Arvin & Lamont Kiwanis Club hosted its 1st Annual Scholarship Awards in honor of Mayor Olivia Trujillo who founded the club two years ago. The Club awarded a total of 42 scholarships to 24 high school graduates and 18 middle school and elementary school students from Arvin and Lamont. High school graduates — who are pursuing higher education — received $500 scholarships and middle school and elementary school students — who were nominated by their school principals — received $100 scholarships.
In honor of Mayor Olivia Trujillo’s love, dedication and service to her community, the Arvin & Lamont Kiwanis Club awarded Salvador Moreno — a student who exemplifies academic excellence and service-leadership — with the “Olivia Trujillo Legacy Scholarship Award” and a scholarship of $1000.
By celebrating the value of education and academic success, the Arvin & Lamont Kiwanis Club aims to inspire children and youth to dream big, study hard and graduate from both high school and college. Kiwanis is a global organization whose mission is “One child at a time, one neighborhood at a time.”
