Past Governor Kenneth C. Forror, M.D., established a scholarship fund in 1980 to assist students that are members of Kiwanis Service Leadership Programs (SLP) in the California-Nevada-Hawaii District of Kiwanis. It is now an integral part of the Cal-Nev-Ha Children’s Fund.
Financial assistance is given to a selected number of students who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, service to their school and community, academic ability and have been active members of a Key Club, KIWIN’S or Circle K club.
“Receiving this scholarship was meaningful in the aspect that I was one step closer to pursuing my career goal of becoming a health professional.”
~ Dalena Ong, 2020 Scholarship Recipient
To qualify for a scholarship, SLP students must plan to continue their undergraduate education by attending a college or university, or by attending a trade or vocational school. The Cal-Nev-Ha Children’s Fund Scholarship Fund awards approximately $75,000 – $110,000 in scholarships each year.
Notice: The Cal-Nev-Ha Children’s Fund only provides scholarships to students who are members of the Cal-Nev-Ha Kiwanis Family (KIWIN’S, Key Club and Circle K).
