We are pleased to announce that our Perspectives on Peace scholarship winners have been announced.
This scholarship was established to recognize outstanding seniors at Ventura high schools. To determine the winners, 10 judges reviewed each applicant’s artistic rendering of their personal perspective on peace, their moral character and community involvement, and their recommendations from teachers, guidance counselors, or mentors.
We funded this program with our District Designated Funds that we earn from supporting The Rotary Foundation.
Scholarship winners:
- First Prize: Shira Zaid, $5,000--Ventura High School
- Second Prize: Madison Lonis, $2,000--Buena High School
- Third prize: Kamar Hanna, $1,000—Buena High School
- Honorary mention: Jordan Pollock, $500—Ventura High School
- Honorary mention: Rachel Chang, $500—Foothill High School
The Museum of Ventura County is also excited to showcase their work from May 17th through June 2nd. We have also asked the other 15 applicants if they would like to showcase their work at the Museum. At our luncheon on May 15th, we will honor the winners and exhibit their work. Students, their guests and their art teachers will be in attendance.
