Casa Dorinda Celebrates Scholarship Recipients at Annual Ceremony

Casa Dorinda is hosting their Annual Scholarship Awards  Ceremony on Wednesday, June 18, at 4 p.m. Every year, Casa Dorinda residents raise funds for  scholarships for staff members and their families. This year, they are honoring more than 40 scholarship recipients and celebrating a record-breaking $217,000 in scholarship awards. The  event will be held in the Auditorium, and a reception will follow. 

Since its establishment in 1997, the Casa Dorinda Scholarship Fund, in partnership with the  Scholarship Foundation of Santa Barbara, has been a beacon of hope for staff members and their  families. Together, over 800 scholarships have been awarded, totaling an impressive $2,100,000,  to students, enabling them to pursue their educational dreams.  

Driven by the Casa Dorinda Scholarship Fund resident committee, its unwavering commitment is  to support and encourage Casa Dorinda staff and their families to apply for educational and  vocational scholarships. This dedication is a testament to the residents’ belief in the power of  education and their support of all Casa Dorinda staff members, whom they consider family. 

Media outlets are invited to our Awards Ceremony to learn about our students’ goals and  dreams.
