Encouragement of scholastic achieve- ment is a year-round proiect at Valley, with many individual clubs giving scholar- ships to deserving members. Amounts vary from S25 to grants as large as SIOO. In addition, the school offers the Vierling Kersey scholarship. Outside interests are particularly active in Valley's scholarship program. Many community business and service organizations sponsor grants of various amounts in certain subject areas. The two S250 scholarships offered by the Sherman Oaks Women's Club to students in Valley's newly opened nursing cur- riculum are outstanding examples of the interest taken by outside groups. Bank of America also offers periodical grants to business maiors on a state-wide basis.
