The Fillmore Lions Club would like to announce the students from Fillmore High School that were awarded scholarships for 2026. The scholarship award process is rigorous and requires students to submit an essay, community service log and high school transcript. A scholarship review committee is formed to review these requirements, and though all the students were highly qualified, only eight students were selected.
Three types of scholarships are awarded. The first one is the Hank Carrillo Memorial Scholarship. This was awarded to Brayden Ibarra and Casey Spore. The second scholarship is for students seeking an associate’s degree or vocational school and this scholarship was awarded to Diego Tapia and Aideth Gonzalez. And the third scholarship is awarded to those seeking a bachelor’s degree and this scholarship was awarded to Ruby Bronsten, Lizbeth Mendez, Christine Nguyen, and Anndee Bacerra.
