Temecula Valley Community Events:

Temecula Valley Community Events is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating events that promote small business owners throughout the SW Riverside County area. Our mission is to raise and develop scholarship funds for students electing to enter the trades industry. By organizing community events, we aim to support financial resources for classes, books, and transportation, lessening the burden for students entering trade schools.

 

 

Our scholarship program offers (6) $500 essay-based scholarships that can be used at most community colleges in the California system, as well as eligible career colleges, technical schools, and independent institutions. It is open to high school seniors who plan to attend an accredited college, university, or trade school within four months of graduating from high school with a specific focus in the trades industry.  Applicants will be considered only for trade school career path institutions. The scholarship application process opens in January 2025. Students with family connections to the trades industry are encouraged to apply for this award, which is administered by Temecula Valley Community Events. Funds will be paid from receipts, which document the training,

 

 

(Due to the Success of the 2024 Family Fun Fest’s Dunk Tank featuring local mayors, city council members and Lake Elsinore School District staff – We are happy to announce there will be (6) $500 Winners for our 2025 Scholarship Program.)
