POINT LOMA OPTIMIST CLUB SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Optimist Club of Point Loma, an affiliate of Optimist International, has for many years recognized outstanding students at Point Loma High School through its Scholarship Program. This year, our club will be awarding college scholarships to selected graduating seniors of Point Loma High School.
