West Hills College President's Scholars Golf Tourney slated for June 13

From West Hills College Lemoore

The 20th Annual President’s Scholars Golf Tournament will be held on June 13 at the Kings Country Club in Hanford, with all proceeds from the event benefiting West Hills College’s President’s Scholars Program.

The President’s Scholars program allows top students to attend West Hills College Coalinga, West Hills College Lemoore or North District Center, Firebaugh at virtually no cost, covering tuition up to 60 units plus $250 per semester for books.

Since the program began in 1998, almost 800 students have received the scholarship and the reach of the program only continues to expand. The program included 48 President’s Scholars five years ago. That number has grown to about 150 students this fall.

“Support for the President’s Scholars Program is critical as more and more top students realize that they can receive a quality higher education experience at little or no cost at West Hills,” said Frances Squire, Executive Director of the West Hills Community College Foundation. “That is only possible because of donors who are recognized at our annual golf tournament.”

Registration for the event, which will be held at the Kings Country Club in Hanford, is $200 per person. Each participating golfer receives breakfast snacks, lunch, a gift certificate for pro shop merchandise, and the chance to win a variety of prizes. It will begin at 8:30 a.m. with a shotgun start and putting contest, with lunch at 1 p.m.

Last year’s event attracted 29 four-person teams and raised over $100,000.
