Once again, Idyllwild has shown proud support of its 2021 community high school graduates. Along with monies given by generous individuals, the following community groups also gave donations: Mountain Quilters of Idyllwild, P.E.O., Community Church Bashford Family Health Care Scholarship, American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, Rotary Club of Idyllwild, Idyllwild Community Presbyterian Church, Soroptimist International of Idyllwild, Mountain High Escrow and Idyllwild Association of REALTORS.

Students had to fill out a packet, write an essay and be interviewed by the selection committee. They had to attain a 2.5 GPA or a combined SAT score of 1052 (or ACT of 20). Involvement in school or community activities was also taken into consideration by the committee.

Our best wishes for success go along with these students as they pursue their career goals.
