The Kiwanis Club of St. Joseph-Benton Harbor is excited to announce its 2026 St. Joseph Kiwanis Foundation Scholarship recipients. The Foundation was established in 1965 by Kiwanis member Myron Wolcott and has presented scholarships each year, granting more than $1 million to local high school seniors.
This year’s recipients included:
Back row – Cole Miller (Lakeshore), Charlotte Confer (St. Joseph), Alivia Blake (Bridgman)
Seated – Ariel Wang (Lakeshore), Juhi Bhatt (St. Joseph)
Not shown – Joey Berry & Salsabil Zahid (St. Joseph)
Kiwanis members are extremely proud to support the youth in our community with these scholarships. The recipients are all Key Club members, and they are receiving $1,000 with the opportunity to reapply for three more years, totaling $4,000 over four years.
The Kiwanis Club of St. Joseph-Benton Harbor is recognized for partnering with the community to open the all-abilities Kaleidoscope Playground at Kiwanis Park, for its volunteer efforts at the local soup kitchen, and for organizing a fall festival for area foster children and their families. The club also fosters the development of future leaders by sponsoring Key Clubs for students at Bridgman, Lakeshore, Benton Harbor, and St. Joseph high schools, as well as the Builders Club at Upton Middle School.
