Ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday break, I wanted to send a
reminder about the launch of the 3rd annual Abraham and Lillian Turk
Scholarship program! Your students will have plenty of time during their break
from school to get a head start on filling out their application.
The program was created in memory of Abraham and Lillian
Turk who believed that every person, regardless of his or her financial means,
was entitled to an equal opportunity for a post high school education. The
program provides up to 20 scholarships each year, of up to $10,000
each, to San Diego graduating high school seniors and those who have graduated
within the last five years and have not yet attended a post high school
institution, to attend a two-year or four-year college or a technical or
vocational school, who meet the program requirements.
Over the last two years, a total of 37 scholarships have
been awarded, representing 29 San Diego County high schools. Below, please find
the scholarship announcement. Note all applications must be submitted no
later than March 1, 2017.
