Shirley A. Kille Memorial Scholarship

El Sobrante United Methodist Church is proud to offer one $1,500.00 scholarship to a current (Fall 2025 to Spring 2026) high school student in the West Contra County Unified School District (WCCUSD) in California. 

History of scholarship

Shirley A. Kille was a member of El Sobrante United Methodist Church and a teacher for the WCCUSD for over 30 years. She taught kindergarten to eighth-grade students to reach their academic potential with kindness and compassion. She was loved and respected by her students, students' parents, and colleagues. Mrs. Kille made such a lasting impact that she has even been invited to her students' weddings!

This scholarship is given in remembrance of the late Mrs. Kille and her wish to see local students reach their academic dreams in higher education.
