Community foundation grants scholarships
Moorpark Acorn, June 25, 2010

Young people who have been in foster care as well as students preparing for public-service careers received inaugural awards from two new scholarship funds during the Ventura County Community Foundation’s Scholarship Awards Reception in June.   The new TEACh Opportunity Scholarship Fund for former foster youths and the John and Agnes McFarlane Scholarship Funds for future public servants were among the 315 awards handed out at the Community Foundation event attended by more than 500 students, family members, educators and donors at the Ventura County Office of Education in Camarillo.

This year, more than 250 individuals received a total of almost $1 million. 
Twelve honorees received scholarships totaling $39,000 from the McFarlane Fund which supports students seeking a degree or certification in an occupation related to a career in public service, including health care, government service, journalism, education and the social services.
The foundation also announced two winners for its Young Artists Scholarship Fund, a product of the ArtsLIVE in Ventura County initiative.

Following are the 2010 Ventura County Community Foundation scholarship winners from Moorpark: Andrew S. Nelinger, Sol C. Moon, Zachary M. Rutland, Alicia M. Carter, Jamie M. Lane, Jenna K. Nelson, Jennifer J. Linderman, Melisa V. Huerta.
