The Coronado Junior Woman’s Club is offering to award three class of 2025 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.

Each of the two awardees will receive the $2,500 scholarship mailed directly to their college’s registrar.
