Kiwanis announces student scholarships
The Sanibel-Captiva Kiwanis Club recently announced its Kiwanis Scholarship Awards Program recipients for the 2026-27 school year. On Scholarship Day, the students joined the club for breakfast and shared a bit about themselves: who they are, what they are studying and the future that they are working toward. Over the past 20 years, the program has provided 428 scholarships totaling $749,425. They are awarded for one year and multiple years, with eligibility based on a connection to Sanibel or Captiva and recognition of past academic performance, community service involvement and overall readiness for the road ahead. The funding to underwrite the scholarship program is raised by the club through fundraisers held during the year, along with donations by members and private individuals.
