The Community of Character Collaborative Announces Application Deadline for Juanita Haugen Memorial Scholarship
The Community of Character Collaborative invites all High School seniors attending Pleasanton Unified School District schools to apply for the annual Juanita Haugen Memorial Scholarship. Long time school board member, trustee and president of the Pleasanton Unified School District, Juanita Haugen inspired the Pleasanton Community of Character initiative. In her honor, annual $1,000 scholarships will recognize students who have a strong record of civic engagement and have demonstrated exceptional character by role modeling the traits of Compassion, Honesty, Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, and Self-Discipline.
An award will be presented to at least one student in each of Pleasanton’s three high schools, last year five scholarships were awarded. Applications are being taken for Foothill and Amador Valley students; Village will be presented at a later date.
