Dean Lines Art Scholarship

As a man and as a coworker, Dean was a mentor in the truest sense - one who advises, guides, and provides support to colleagues, family, and the youth. As one of the original Condors staff members, he taught art, coached wrestling, served as union president, mentored many, cared for students in the greatest of need, and gave so freely to this beautiful community. Dean was an example of how to live the life of a family man & art teacher - weaving together all the things we love into a lifestyle that makes a difference. He showed a different approach to work and taught us how to live this artful life. But it wasn't a prescription, nor a script, it was by his encouragement and trust in his students that revealed how making an artful life is within each of us. Dean was a shining example of how to keep the big picture in focus while doing all the tedious work of teaching, of union negotiation, of advocating for students and teachers alike.

Jacklyn Henderson Leadership Award

A scholarship in loving memory of our coach and teacher, Miss Jacklyn Henderson A native of Huntington, New York, Jacklyn graduated from Oyster Bay High School before attending Hunter College, where she was a three-year member of the Hawks cross country and track and field teams. A talented distance runner, Jacklyn was a member of two CUNYAC Championship cross country teams (2010 and 2011), earning first-place in the conference championship meet in 2010 to take CUNYAC Runner of the Year honors. Jacklyn was a six-time conference All-Star and helped the Hunter distance medley relay team to a CUNYAC title at the 2010-2011 Indoor Championships. She graduated from Hunter in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology, her childhood passion. Miss Jacklyn Henderson became a beloved biology teacher and cross country and track and field coach at North Monterey County High School. In a very short amount of time, Miss Henderson became one of the most popular teachers on our campus. Hundreds of her students, athletes, and fellow staff members quickly became very fond of her. Miss Henderson had an amazing passion for life; adventures;

travel; and making everyone she met feel complete and unconditionally loved. She was extremely family and friend oriented. She lived every day as if it were her last and made lasting impacts on those she has left behind. Her legacy will

Margaret and Seba Bronson Scholarship

(Community Foundation) Opens: February This scholarship was established in February, 2011. It is an annual, 4-year, renewable scholarship and is supported by the very generous Margaret & Seba Bronson Scholarship Fund, which is an endowment fund of the Community Foundation for Monterey County. The scholarship may be applied to tuition, room and board, books, supplies, and other necessary expenses related to attendance at an accredited college or university in California, and may be renewed three times, if the requirements continue to be met. NOTE: This scholarship may be renewed for up to three additional years.

Margaret and Seba Bronson Margaret and Seba Bronson were married in 1941 and spent their entire married lives in Castroville until their deaths in 1985 and 1986. Seba Bronson was born in 1906 and raised on a ranch in Watsonville and came to Castroville in 1926 to help his widowed sister run her hardware store. He later owned the store, then retired and closed the store in 1971. He was very active in Rotary and Masons. Except for World War II, he spent his life in Watsonville and Castroville. Margaret Jensen was born in 1913 in Medford, Oregon and graduated from St. Vincent’s School of Nursing in Portland, Oregon in 1934. She then moved to the Salinas area to be near her sister and family and practice nursing. When Seba went off to war, she began helping in the hardware store. She was a member of our Lady of Refuge Church. The Bronsons had no children and therefore left an endowment for college scholarships for North Monterey County High School students to benefit the students of the community in which they lived and worked. (Margaret) Sebina Hobson is the niece and namesake of the Bronsons. She lives nearby in Los Altos and considers it her privilege to work with Community Foundation for Monterey County and North Monterey High School in helping to award four year scholarships to needy and deserving students. Application: Applications will be available in the Career Center

The Sara Scholarship

Opens: November The Sara Scholarship is granted annually through the Henry & Sara Sheehan Foundation. The objective of the Sara Scholarship is to grant need-based academic scholarships to female high school seniors who have demonstrated excellence of character and are involved with the sport of golf. A minimum of eleven (11) $2000 scholarships will be awarded in 2019.

The Sara Scholarship was established in 2012 as part of the final will of Sara Sheehan, who passed away in 2011. Sara loved golf, and despite many years of ill health, she played as much as she could – and could often only manage a few holes. She believed that the game, aside from being fun, taught important life skills and instilled character, especially the qualities of discipline and patience. Sara never considered herself a skilled golfer. Nevertheless, she enjoyed all aspects of the sport, whether that meant going to tournaments or simply chatting with fellow golf lovers at pro shops or clubs. Just as it didn’t matter to Sara whether a player was a novice or a pro, it is immaterial to the scholarship committee whether applicants have great skill in the game or desire to play college golf. Sara wished, simply, that the applicant demonstrate some level of involvement and engagement with the sport. Application: Applications are available in the Career Center Mail completed application packets to: The Sara Scholarship The Henry & Sara Sheehan Foundation 310 N. Kensington Ave. LaGrange Park, IL. 60526 Must be postmarked on or before April 30, 2019. The winning applicants will be notified on or before August 15, 2019

Eligibility Requirements:

Applicants must be female.

Applicants must be high school seniors with the intention to graduate at the end of the school year.

Applicants must meet entrance requirements and plan to enroll at an accredited college or university in the United States.

Applicants must have a cumulative minimum unweighted GPA (grade point average) of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale.

Applicants must demonstrate financial need.

Applicants must demonstrate excellent character and involvement with the sport of golf. Skill in playing golf is not a criterion.

APPLICATION MATERIALS 1. Completed Sara Scholarship Application form 2. Copy of Official High School Transcript (including Fall semester grades from senior year) 3.

The Killian Music Scholarship

(Hartnell College - Music Major)

The Hartnell College Music Department is grateful for the bequest from Jack Killian that funds a scholarship program for a cohort of ten Music Majors at Hartnell. This amazing program can include $1,200 scholarships per semester, private lessons from approved teachers paid for by the program, and funded field trips to universities and concerts. About Jack R. and Suzanne W. Killian Jack R. Killian was a gifted musician, playing the trumpet, trombone and various reed instruments. He was an active member of the marching band and played in various local dance bands.

Jack and his wife, Suzanne were long-time supporters of the arts in Salinas – more specifically, the arts at Hartnell.

Jack R. and Suzanne W. Killian generously included Hartnell College Foundation in their estate plans, giving $1.4 million to establish the Jack R. Killian and Suzanne W. Killian Endowed Scholarship. The annual income from this fund will be used to provide scholarships to students majoring in music at Hartnell College who have experienced hardship. In addition to the outright gift, Hartnell College Foundation also received the partial residue of the trust estate, which will also support the music scholars, and will be known as the Jack R. Killian and Olivia B. Killian Endowed Scholarship.

Complete the online application form, including a 140-character message about digital privacy. The top 10 applications will be selected as finalists.

Skin Care Ox: Beauty + Wellness Scholarship for Women

QUARTERLY DEADLINES: January 1st — March 31 — June 30 — September 30 Each day, the average woman applies more than 200 chemicals to her skin via her beauty routine and over 60% of those chemicals are absorbed directly into the blood stream. These chemicals include potentially cancer-causing chemical additives like parabens, mineral oils and other petrochemical byproducts, ethoxylated ingredients, phthalates, and sulfates (to name a few). Not only are we bombarded by potentially toxic chemicals in our beauty products, we’re also constantly exposed to questionable chemicals in our food, cleaning products, and medicines. Combine those facts with our modern high-stress lifestyles and the CDC’s estimation that 80% of American’s don’t get the recommended amount of exercise—-and you’ve got yourself a big wellness problem. At Skin Care Ox, we believe that true wellness is within our grasp–if we are mindful, aware, and active in making good decisions. We’re not alone. Today, more women are taking a closer look at the ingredients in their food and beauty products and making more informed choices. Additionally, yoga, meditation, and other alternative wellness therapies are more popular now than ever before. Living a totally healthy lifestyle can be surprisingly challenging in our modern society—especially for college students! The Skin Care Ox: Beauty + Wellness Scholarship for

Halloween Express Scholarship

FALL HALLOWEEN 2019 ESSAY CONTEST IS HERE! The best overall submission will be determined and judged by the Halloween Express team. This scholarship essay contest encourages students to examine America's history and pop-culture along with their own experiences by submitting a 500 to 2500 word essay expressing their views on the contest topic. The best overall submission will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship.

$1,000

Eligibility Requirements: This scholarship contest is open to all fields of study for students who are at least 18 years of age by the entry deadline (10/31 /19) and have been accepted to an accredited post-secondary undergraduate program or college located in the United States for the stated school years. The program can be a two or four year vocational, college

Topic: In recent years there's been a lot of debate about Halloween costume standards. Some cities have banned or at least strongly discouraged certain types of costumes such as clown costumes. Some costume retailers have faced outrage from various groups protesting certain ethnic or religious dress costumes (e.g. Native American costumes). And there are groups who protest the selling of costumes which in their view either glorify violence (e.g. military costumes) or are overly sexual. The fall ritual of dressing up in costume and trick-or-treating seems particularly challenging for college campuses where some university administrations have gone as far as to issue warnings about costume choices.

Are the standards for Halloween costumes changing? Or, are these protests simply one more example of some who want to force their point of view on others? Are there some costumes which should be off-limits? If so, what are those costumes? And, who gets to decide what those limits are? Why? Is freedom of expression no longer relevant? Have we reached the point at which we're being conditioned to be offended by everything we see and hear? What type of costume did you wear last year? What will you wear this year?

These chemicals include potentially cancer-causing chemical additives like parabens, mineral oils and other petrochemical byproducts, ethoxylated ingredients, phthalates, and sulfates (to name a few). Not only are we bombarded by potentially toxic chemicals in our beauty products, we’re also constantly exposed to questionable chemicals in our food, cleaning products, and medicines. Combine those facts with our modern high-stress lifestyles and the CDC’s estimation that 80% of American’s don’t get the recommended amount of exercise—-and you’ve got yourself a big wellness problem. At Skin Care Ox, we believe that true wellness is within our grasp–if we are mindful, aware, and active in making good decisions. We’re not alone. Today, more women are taking a closer look at the ingredients in their food and beauty products and making more informed choices. Additionally, yoga, meditation, and other alternative wellness therapies are more popular now than ever before. Living a totally healthy lifestyle can be surprisingly challenging in our modern society—especially for college students! The Skin Care Ox: Beauty + Wellness Scholarship for Women program was established to provide financial support to college women who are striving to lead healthy lifestyles. If you’re a female high school senior, undergraduate, or graduate student who is committed to maintaining personal wellness, then this is the scholarship for you!
