Leona Valley Sertoma Presents Scholarships

Leona Valley Sertoma Presents Scholarships

Each year the Leona Valley Sertoma presents scholarships to deserving graduating high school students. In addition, a scholarship is awarded to a community college student moving on to a four year college. This year Leona Valley Sertoma was able to present six very deserving young ladies with scholarships. It is fair to say they beautifully represent the Lakes and Valley communities served by Leona Valley Sertoma. We look forward to hearing of their successes and adventures when they come back home to visit family and friends. They are our future and we wish them great success in all their endeavors.

The Leona Valley Sertoma Scholarship fund is made possible through the generosity of everyone who supports our fundraising events and we cannot thank them enough for their participation and support of Leona Valley Sertoma. Anyone interested in learning more about us is encouraged to visit our home page at leonavalleysertoma.org, or join us for a meeting. We meet at 8:00am, on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month, at Jack’s Place, on 90th Street West.
