High school students in Santa Clarita Valley in Los
Angeles County,
especially those attending school in the William
S. Hart HighSchool district, are encouraged to apply
for one of twelve high school scholarships being offered by
The Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation of San Francisco.
Thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Foundation, three high school students will
be awarded scholarships to Junior Statesmen summer programs. Nine other
eligible L.A. County
high school students will be able attend Junior Statesmen Symposia. Offering an
academic opportunity to students who are passionate about politics and
government, Junior Statesmen programs are considered by many to be an ideal
training ground for tomorrow's civic leaders.

One full and two partial scholarships for high school students
entering grades nine through twelve will fund attendance at Junior Statesmen
Summer School. Hosted annually at Yale, Stanford, Georgetown
and Princeton University,
these events can be investigated further at the organization's Web site.

In addition to funding for the Summer Programs, nine high school students
will be sponsored to attend one of this year's Junior Statesmen Symposia, each
hosted by a college. Symposium programs are three- to four-day events focusing
on such issues as leadership, politics, media, the Green economy, national
security and globalization. Henry Mayo Newhall scholarships are available for
students to attend the California Symposium on Politics and the Green Economy,
and the Gene A. Burd Symposium on Los Angeles Media and Politics.

"We are very grateful that The Henry Mayo Newhall
Foundation has extended this grant to the Junior Statesmen program," says
David Viotti, CEO of the Junior Statesmen Foundation. "These scholarships
for Santa Clarita Valley high school leaders are a prime example of the Newhall
Foundation's continued commitment to fostering political involvement and
leadership."

In addition to the Henry Mayo Newhall Foundation scholarships, other high
school scholarships are available to qualifying students. The Gerald Garner
Memorial Fund, Meese Family Memorial Fund, Alice Tweed Tuohy Foundation, Robert
Meyers Scholarship Fund, and donors to the West Contra Costa Initiative also
