Our College Scholarship Program helps Junior Guard alumni pay for college or other education programs after they are finished with high school. Many of these kids come back to become valuable members of our community. The majority of our fundraising is awarded to our College Scholarship Program.

​

Capitola Junior Lifeguard Instructors and former Capitola Jr. Lifeguards who meet the following criteria are eligible to apply for our college scholarships. You must be a high school graduate and be planning to attend an accredited college or trade school during the fall semester or quarter of 2023 and be a full-time student (12 units or more). In addition, you must have been enrolled and completed a minimum of four years in the Capitola Junior Lifeguard Program.

​

Scholarships are for tuition only, and all award checks will be made payable to the college/university. Scholarships will not be awarded to students who already have full ride scholarships, so if you already have your undergraduate expenses covered, please wait and apply at a later date if your situation changes.

 

Scholarships will be awarded to the applicants based on:

​

• Enrollment and Participation in Capitola Jr. Lifeguards

• Demonstrated academic competence

• Involvement in school, sports, and community organizations

 

Submission information:

• All applications must be typed, please. Hand written applications will not be accepted.

• Due date: July 27, 2023 at 5:00 pm

• Deliver to: Jennifer Wiens – 409 Loma Ave, Capitola, CA 95010-3702

Letters of recommendation, essays, high school and/or college transcripts, college/trade school acceptance letter, financial aid award statement, and a schedule of anticipated expenses, provided by the college/trade school will need to be submitted and will be used to evaluate candidates. This scholarship will be awarded only one time per person. If you are not awarded a scholarship this year, you may reapply.

​
