Each year, the Kiwanis Club of Toledo awards scholarships to area high school seniors during our annual Scholarships Luncheon. The scholarships are awarded to students from Toledo area high schools.
This is a very important part of our mission. We have been awarding scholarships to students from area schools for over 20 years. These scholarships are a crucial part of our promise to serve the youth of central Toledo.
Each scholarship recipient is chosen by a committee of Kiwanis members who review applications that focus not only on the students' academic achievements, but also on their views on community service. A rich understanding of community service is an important part of our criteria for awarding these scholarships. While we certainly appreciate their academic accomplishments, we are also very interested in supporting students who have focused their extra curricular activities on community service and have a deep understanding of what community service means to them.
