Thirteen Local High School Seniors Receive Scholarships from Lincoln Center
With a record number of scholarships given in one single year, the 2018-19 high school seniors of San Joaquin County made it extremely difficult to make a decision. We were honored to meet our recipients during our luncheon at Squeeze Burger at the end of March. From various high schools all over San Joaquin County, we’re confident these extremely well-rounded teens are sure to be successful wherever their college choices lead them. Their academic spirit and drive is truly inspiring.

The Lincoln Center Scholarship Program was created to promote and support the educational growth of students in San Joaquin County. In its 6th year, the scholarships are funded through proceeds generated at the Lincoln Center LIVE! Classic Car Show held each August. As we bid farewell to the car show, the Lincoln Center Scholarships will still be funded through Lincoln Properties, Ltd. This year more than $6,000 in scholarship money was awarded.
High school seniors with a 3.0 GPA or higher attending school in San Joaquin County were eligible to apply. The 2019-20 Lincoln Center Scholarship Program applications will be available later this year.
