Scholarships & Awards for our Youth
Our club provides scholarships to graduating seniors from each of our High Schools: South Tahoe High School, George Whittell High School and Mt. Tallac High School. A committee evaluates the applications. Criteria for the evaluation includes: financial need; academics; community service; employment; extra curricular activities; letters of recommendation; and the effort the student has made in life to be the person they have become as evidenced by the essay they submit.
