McMinnville Noon Kiwanis Scholarship 2011

            Every year the McMinnville Kiwanis Club rewards multiple students for their hard work in High School with scholarships to help them with the ever-increasing expenses of attending college.  The scholarships are given to those students who show their hard work through grades and achievements as well as in participation in activities and community service. 
            Last year, McMinnville Kiwanis Club awarded $15,000 in scholarships to deserving students.  This year, we plan to award $14,000 to graduates that will be attending their first year of college in Fall 2011. 
            The McMinnville Kiwanis Club also awards second-year scholarships to select recipients of the first-year scholarship.  A separate application process is done directly with the club for these scholarships during the end of the students’ first year of college.
