LEGACY SCHOLARSHIP

Offering college/university, trade, and vocational school opportunities.
Community West Legacy Foundation is excited to introduce a new scholarship opportunity into our local communities. The Legacy Scholarship aims to reduce financial barriers for students, allowing them to focus on their studies and future careers without the heavy burden of educational expenses.

Community West will award the 2025 Legacy Scholarship to three students for the fall 2025 semester: three individuals planning to attend or currently attending a college/university, trade, or vocational program. This student can be an upcoming High School graduate, or a current college/trade/vocational student.

This scholarship aims to acknowledge and reward individuals who align with the pillars the Foundation was built upon; Community Development, Financial Literacy, Empowering Youth, and Advocation of Human Rights.

Three Grand Prize Winners: $2,000 scholarship each
