Phillip and Louise Wang Scholarships:

This is the 15th year of the Philip and Louise Wang Annual College Scholarships, which have been generously endowed by the Wangs. Education and learning are an important part of the Wang family tradition. Phil’s father was a renowned scholar in China and is widely remembered for his work and service to higher education in China and Taiwan. Phil is a charter member of the Woodside Terrace A.M. Kiwanis Club.

Yamada Family Scholarships:

The late Sat and Florence Yamada originally set up this scholarship in the 1970’s for a Sequoia High School senior in memory of their late son, Michael Yamada. Sat was another charter member of this Kiwanis Club and was a well respected and well loved member of our club and the original owner of Flowers by Sat’s. In 1997, Florence Yamada bequeathed funds in her will to continue the Yamada Family Scholarships for years to come.

Woodside Terrace A.M. Kiwanis Scholarship:

One of our major projects each year is to award the Woodside Terrace A.M. Kiwanis Scholarships. Over its long history, the club has sponsored hundreds of scholarships for Redwood City high school seniors. The Kiwanis motto and cornerstone is, “We build”. The Woodside Terrace A.M. Kiwanis Club awards these scholarships to “build” the new leaders of our community.

Key Club’s objectives are the development of initiative, leadership ability, community service, and good citizenship practices.

This is the 10th year of the Mayers Family Community Service Award, which has been and continues to be sponsored by the Estate of the late Geri Mayers.
