One of the important pieces of preparing for education after high school is identifying and applying for scholarships to help with the cost.  A scholarship can be awarded for many reasons – academic ability, athletic talent, interests, demographics, career goals, etc. 

For example, Hart District seniors planning to pursue a career in education may apply for the Backer Family Scholarship. This local scholarship is managed by the SCV Education Foundation and its information can be found on the Foundation’s website.

Given all the unknowns that we’ve experienced in the past 18 months, we certainly have had practice with mindfulness, consciously or unconsciously. This pandemic has taught us to be open to constant change. But all this pivoting into the unknown has not been without obstacles.

The Santa Clarita Valley Education Foundation recently awarded four scholarships to local Hart District seniors whose personal goals, college major and declared career path indicate future success in a field related to education.
