The Imperial Valley Community Foundation has partnered with local 4-H and community leaders to honor and thank an outstanding and special person who has done so much for the Imperial Valley’s young people by establishing the Mary Harmon Scholarship Fund.

The Mary Harmon Scholarship is open to:

• Applicants who will be attending an accredited institution of post-secondary education or vocational training in the United States in a program that has a duration of at least three quarter terms or two semester terms.
• Note: Applicants will interview with the scholarship selection committee as part of the application process.

Applicants must have:

• Participated in two separate club approved projects during member’s (applicant’s) senior year of high school.

If you would like to invest in the future as Mrs. Harmon has done for so many years, we invite you to support the Mary Harmon Scholarship Fund with a gift that is personally meaningful.

This fund is structured as a permanent endowment so that Mrs. Harmon’s legacy will be preserved and scholarship funds will be available for awarding in perpetuity.
