The Golden W.H.E.E.L. Organization is pleased to have funded over 170 scholarships totaling over $400,000. Many young men and women in our community have a great desire to further their education beyond high school. Our goal is to assist high school seniors with funds to attend college and fulfill their dream of higher education. Each year, a number of high schools in the West Valley have the opportunity to support students in completing applications for the Golden W.H.E.E.L. Organization Scholarship.

Each April a lovely dinner is held to honor and recognize the students who have been selected to receive a $4,000 Golden W.H.E.E.L. Scholarship. At this dinner, the students are recognized for their achievements not only in education, but in the community as well.

MALETA HAMBLIN
MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP
Maleta Hamblin was one of the founding members of the Golden W.H.E.E.L. Organization. The Hamblin family, in partnership with the Golden W.H.E.E.L. Organization, has created this scholarship in her memory. Maleta's vision was to help students in the West Valley achieve and even surpass their dreams of education. Maleta found great pride in the strength of youth in our community and understood their role in our future. In 2006, Maleta lost her courageous battle with cancer. She left behind her husband, five children and eleven grandchildren. Maleta has left her family with a strong legacy that children are a treasure and that education is the key to their future. The Golden W.H.E.E.L. Organization is very dedicated to the continuing education of the youth in our community. We are honored to partner with the Hamblin family in presenting the Maleta Hamblin Memorial Scholarship.
