Mountain View and Los Altos Students Receive Scholarships

With college around the corner, any little bit of scholarship money helps.

For their hard work and accomplishments in academics, athletics and extra-curricular activities the Silicon Valley Realtors Charitable Foundation has awarded 18 graduating Silicon Valley seniors a $1,000 scholarship.

Viet Nguyen, a 2013 graduate of Mountain View High School and now first-year student at Brown University, along with Jerry Liu, a 2013 graduate of Los Altos High School and future Princeton University student have each been awarded this scholarship.

"We are very happy we have been able to assist our youth for the past 14 years as they embark on their college careers," said SILVAR Scholarship Chair Nina Yamaguchi. "The seniors selected for the SILVAR Scholarship Program are very deserving of recognition. We are pleased we can help our local students achieve their dreams.” 

The selection committee of the scholarship program, which has given awards for 14 years now, is comprised of local business leaders and representatives from local high schools and colleges. Over the years, the program has awarded $252,000 to more than 250 graduating seniors in Silicon Valley.
