Students entering or attending a junior college are not eligible. Students must be a resident of the State of California. How many scholarships are given, and in what amount?

Heringer Honorary Award, the Howard P. Wackman II Memorial Scholarship, the John H. Wiechman Memorial Scholarship and the Carolyn S. Richardson Memorial Scholarship.
