"...to aid motivated and needy students, at any level of higher education or training, who find it difficult to defray the expenses of attending a school of higher-education or a school of technical or trade training, were it not for some outside means of financial assistance."

It is the hope of the Board of Directors of the Boys & Girls Club of Ventura that the funds being distributed from this charitable trust will serve to aid those who would otherwise not receive assistance.
