Shelby’s Restaurant will partner with the American Association of University Women (AAUW), Orinda-Moraga-Lafayette branch (OML), to raise money for local scholarships on Tuesday, Sept. 20.
These scholarships are based on community engagement. Seniors at each local high school and Saint Mary’s College undergraduates in the High Potential Program will receive scholarships in the spring.
