~ Helen Radford Scholarship Award ~

The Somis Town and Country Club is one of the oldest non-profit organizations in Ventura County.  The Club was started in 1952 by Somis resident Helen Radford.  It has elected board members and meets monthly.  Our membership gives financial assistance to students in the form of academic scholarships.

This year we will award two $1,000 scholarships to deserving high school graduates who are residents of Somis.  Students applying to a four-year college or to a community college or a trade school are eligible.  Our goal is to promote and reward academic achievement and to help students achieve their full potential.

The scholarship awards will be based on scholastic achievement, financial need, extra-curricular activities both in school and in the community, and a personal statement.  The money will be awarded upon receipt of proof (copy) of the college acceptance letter.

The following are the criteria which must be met when applying for this scholarship: 

1.  You are a  SOMIS (zip code 93066) resident who will graduate from a local high school in June of 2024. 

2.  For those applying to a four-year college, you have a minimum GPA of 3.0 (on a 4.0 point scale) at the time of  application.  For those applying to a community college or trade school, you have a GPA of at least 2.0 (on a 4.0 point scale).

3.  You submit a copy of your high school transcript.

4.  You include two (2) letters of recommendation—one from a teacher who has had you as a student, and one letter of personal recommendation from someone who has first hand knowledge of you and your extra-curricular activities.

Please type or write legibly, and mail one (1) original application and one (1) copy of the original application (with all the related documents attached) to the address below.  All forms must be postmarked by midnight of April 30, 2024.
