The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation is sponsoring the 11th annual Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation Scholars Program, which rewards deserving high school seniors in Ventura County who have demonstrated qualities of leadership and strong character throughout their four years of high school. 

A total of $50,000 in scholarships will be distributed, including at least three top scholarships of $5,000 to $10,000 each. The awards are for tuition, books, and room and board only.

In addition, each of the top three students will select a teacher of their choice to receive $500 for use within their classroom. Other students will be awarded amounts ranging from $250 to $5,000. Scholarships will be paid in full within the year awarded directly to the college of the scholar’s choice

Presidential Library Scholars and their families will be invited to a dinner at the Reagan Library on May 19 when the scholarships will be awarded.

Applications must be received or postmarked by 5 p.m. Mon., March 15.
