Every year the Rossmoor Woman’s Club awards several college scholarships to graduating seniors at Los Alamitos High School.

These awards may range from $500 to several thousand dollars. They are awarded based on need, academic achievement and leadership.

Applications for the 2025-2026 year are now available through the school counseling office. They must be submitted by Jan. 16, 2026 and winners will be announced at the school’s Awards Night in the Spring.

At the October Rossmoor Woman’s Club General Meeting both Konner Fox and Amalia Berthon were each awarded a $1,000 check to go towards their college endeavors.

September Student of Month
Amalia Berthon is incredibly honored and grateful to have been selected as a senior of the month. At Los Alamitos High School, she is involved in lacrosse, French Club, and the National Honor Society. Academically, she loves learning about the sciences -especially chemistry, physics, and psychology. One of her proudest accomplishments has been becoming captain of the lacrosse team this past year, which has taught her the importance of leadership and hard work. Outside of school, Amalia loves reading, traveling with her family, and watching movies at the theatres with her friends. In the future, she hopes to pursue a career that encompasses her love for science and nature.
