RECIPIENT'S STORIES
The scholarship I received from the Rotary Club of Ventura East Foundation played a meaningful role in helping me complete nursing school by easing the financial burden and allowing me to stay focused on my education. Thanks to that support, I am now successfully working as a nurse on a stepdown unit, and I’m truly grateful for the impact your organization had on my journey.

"The Rotary Club of Ventura East scholarship played a meaningful role in supporting my pursuit of higher education at San Diego State University, where I earned my degree in Business Administration. After graduating, I returned home to Ventura, where I am now building my career in employee benefits, working with small to mid-sized companies, primarily within Ventura County. I’m truly grateful to be part of a community that has invested in me. That investment drives my commitment to give back and help local businesses, individuals, families, and the next generation in Ventura thrive."

Rich, Testimonial from our first nursing scholar in 2020. Joe
“I am still working in the operating room at CMH. I love what I do. The scholarship was instrumental in achieving my goal of becoming a nurse. With the scholarship, I purchased education material to help me better prepare for the nursing state exam. I truly believe that having the additional study material crucial is passing the NCLEX. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
