The Coronado Junior Woman’s Club (CJWC) is offering to award four class of 2026 graduating senior girls, either attending Coronado High School or a Coronado resident, the annual Marilyn Foster Scholarship in the amount of $2,500.
The scholarship honors the legacy of the late Mrs. Marilyn Foster, one of Coronado’s beloved philanthropists who was known for her steadfast dedication to serving our community. She was best known for her involvement as a military spouse, an award-winning gardener, and an active member of the CJWC. Foster believed that a community is only as strong as the people who make it.
The scholarship is for those interested in establishing a commitment to their community and who have plans to attend a higher education institution in the fall. Each of the four awardees will receive the $2,500 scholarship mailed directly to their college’s registrar.
The CJWC will begin accepting applications on April 1, and the deadline to apply is May 15, 2026. Find the application and more information at coronadojuniorwomens.org.
