Scholarships

Desert Club offers scholarships to graduating high school seniors who require financial support, as well as to previous scholarship recipients. Many of our awardees balance their studies with part time work, while also engaging in constructive school and community activities. Scholarship candidates are evaluated based on their academic performance, financial need, involvement in the community and school, and their aspirations for the future.
