The Alpine Woman's Club has long been committed to supporting the educational needs of the youth of its community. During the celebration of the Town Hall's Centennial, in 1999, each of the three local elementary schools presented the Woman's Club with a beautiful mosaic. These gifts are proudly displayed in the landscaping surrounding the clubhouse. These works of art, pictured below, were done with the help of local artist and Club member Annie Norton.
Each year, through the Alpine Woman's Club Scholarship, Education and Preservation Foundation, a 501(c)3 organization, scholarships are made available to local high school seniors.
Scholarships are awarded to students who meet the following criteria:
1. They must reside in the Alpine community;
2. They must have a well-developed sense of community participation and/or have been diligently applying themselves in the employment area;
3. They must show scholastic achievement;
4. They must recognize that each autobiographical essay is carefully read and evaluated; and
5. They must demonstrate a need for financial assistance.
Applications for scholarships must be received by May 31 of each year in order to be considered for the award ceremony in June. A Microsoft Word fill-in application is available by clicking on the following and sending an e-mail requesting the document.
