The Kiwanis Club of Santa Monica did its part to help some local students stay in school recently, as the organization passed out 10 scholarships to continuing students at Santa Monica College.
The club announced the scholarships at its weekly luncheon on Aug. 17. The 10 awards are based on scholastic achievement, community service and students’ goals.
Nine of the ten scholarships are given in the names of past Kiwanis members active in their local communities.
The Kiwanis Club gives away these scholarships each year, based on a spring interview process by the Kiwanis Vocational Guidance Committee.
This year’s recipients include Erin Stretten, Dione Surdez, Sai Duhamel, Michell Molina, David Wetheimer II, Purna Gourisetti, Richard Goodman, Samira Zarbakhsh and Hui-Ju Liao. Lance Armstrong fights cancer with cash
