By City News Service on July 20, 2022 Education

SANTA MONICA – Twelve college-bound high school seniors from Los Angeles County have been chosen as 2022 Milken Scholars, winning $10,000 scholarships plus a lifetime of career and educational mentoring and resources, it was announced Wednesday.

The program, a joint initiative of the Milken Institute and the Milken Family Foundation, was founded in 1989 by Michael Milken, the former financier, and his wife Lori “to honor exceptional young individuals who have demonstrated the potential to make a profound difference in the world.”

The program awards the scholarships “after a rigorous nomination, application and interview process.”

Criteria for the awards include academic performance, community service, leadership and “their ability to persevere in the face of personal challenges.”

Besides the $10,000 scholarships, winners get lifelong career-related counseling, assistance in securing internships, opportunities for community service and a fund to assist their post-graduate pursuits.

Later this month, the L.A. winners will attend a four-day summit in Los Angeles with other winners from Washington, D.C., and New York City.
