Kiwanis Club Awards Scholarships to CVHS Grads

The Kiwanis Club of Hayward-Castro Valley is pleased to announce the award of two scholarships to outstanding graduates of local High Schools. 

The Kiwanis Club awards scholarships annually to students who are members of the Youth Affiliate Key Clubs at area High Schools. The awards are based on academic excellence, extra-curricular activity, and demonstrated leadership in community service.

The deserving awardees in 2022 are Jennifer Guan and Cindy Kwok, both of Kipp King High School in San Lorenzo. Jennifer and Cindy were both awarded a $1,000 scholarship.

Jennifer was a multi-year President of the Kipp King Key Club, maintained a near 4.0 GPA, and was recognized for her many community service hours and efforts. Jennifer will be attending the U.C. Berkeley Bridge Program this summer and will be enrolled at Berkeley full time in the Fall.

Cindy was the Kipp King Key Club Vice President, which gave her the opportunity to devote her time and leadership skills to numerous community service projects during her tenure in the club. A gifted student, Cindy will also be attending the U.C. Berkeley Bridge Program this summer and will be attending college in London in the Fall.

In addition to sponsoring and managing many community service events, the Hayward-Castro Valley Kiwanis Club sponsors and mentors youth leadership at four local high schools: Castro Valley High School, Kipp King High School, Leadership Public School, and Moreau Catholic High School. The Club also has a youth affiliate club - Circle K – at Cal State University, East Bay.
