2021 Scholarship Recipients Presentations
The 2021 Scholarship Awards recipients (16 of 17 at time of photo) were presented their scholarships by NLPOAVC Board Members on Thursday August 5th, 2021, outdoors at National University Campus in Oxnard. It was an enjoyable event as family and friends were able to share the moment of seeing their loved ones be recognized for their inspiring work as they continue to pursue their educational goals.
There were 17 scholarships awarded and a total of $17,000 was raised by the Ventura County Chapter to make this event possible. THANK YOU to the Board, membership, memorial sponsors and corporate sponsor, The Port of Hueneme, for their support of this year’s event. Planning, fundraising, and sponsorships are already in the works for the next Scholarship Awards program in 2022! Stay tuned

Our 11th Annual Scholarship Banquet was a huge success. Thank you to all who attended and supported the event. Planning is already underway for next year’s Scholarship Banquet. This has always been a very successful event, and we owe that to all our members, sponsors and supporters. We hope to see you all there again next year. We had the honor of having Ventura County Superior Court Judge Gilbert Romero, as out guest speaker and want to thank him for the heartfelt speech that brought home the very essence of our organization and what it means to our scholarship recipients.
