(Seniors) Sandpipers Scholarship Due 2/2/23
Sandpipers has provided financial assistance to college-bound students since 1941 and is the oldest continuing aid program in the South Bay. Supporting more than 50 students per year, the program is unique in funding our qualified recipients throughout the four continuous years of their undergraduate studies.

For the 2022-2023 school year, Sandpipers awarded more than $300,000 to 55 college students (Freshmen – Senior years). Each student received a minimum of $500 with some receiving as much as $10,000 for the school year. This amount is based on their outstanding financial need from their FAFSA report.
High school seniors living in the South Bay (both citizens and eligible non-citizens as defined by the U.S. Department of Education) are eligible to apply for a Sandpipers Scholarship for the 2023-24 school year. Detailed eligibility requirements are stated below.

All applications are due on Thursday, February 2, 2023 at 5 PM, no exceptions.
The Sandpipers Scholarship Committee conducts a rigorous review of ALL applications. Sandpipers will select up to 20 candidates to meet with the Sandpipers Scholarship Committee for virtual interviews. From those 20 students interviewed, the Committee will select between 12-14 students as Sandpipers Scholarship recipients for 2023-24.
We base our selection of our scholarship recipients on the following:
· Students’ community and school involvement
· Academic achievement
· Leadership
· Financial need
· Personal commitment to financially contribute to their own education via work-study, part-time employment, etc.
· Note: children and grandchildren of Sandpipers’ members are not eligible.

Dual Enrollment Information Session Hosted by El Camino College- 1/19
Dual Enrollment Spring Information Session led by El Camino College
This 1-hour workshop is for prospective high school students, already registered high school students, and parents to receive an overview of Dual Enrollment in El Camino College Classes for the Spring 2023 Semester. The entire process (from applying for admission to the last day of class) will be covered.
This is a great opportunity for prospective students, already registered high school students, and parents to learn more about Dual Enrollment for the Spring 2023 Semester and ask any questions they may have.
This is largely geared towards K-12 students who want information to register themselves in traditional El Camino College classes, but we will also touch on High School Partnerships Classes – largely to distinguish the differences between these two types of Dual Enrollment. (The steps are the same, but Steps 3 & 4 of the Steps for Dual Enrollment are done for students in High School Partnership Classes.)
Thursday, January 19, 20235:30-6:30 PM (1 hour)
