With a degree in radiology and ultrasound, I will be able to reach my goal of helping others plus doing what I love.”
San Joaquin Delta College is the school Kaley Garcia, West Point, will be attending. Nursing is her chosen field of endeavor. Coming from a large family, Kaley is determined to be the first child in their family to attend college. She credits her community and her parents for encouraging her to follow her dreams. Kaley shares, “My family has always taught me to never give up and pursue my dreams and that is exactly what I plan to do.”
Barbara Boyd White, CCF Scholarship Chair says, “CCF is fortunate to receive many generous donations from individuals and business that benefit the C&TT fund. Those donations allow CCF to pass on sizable scholarships to those students pursuing a vocational trade. Congratulations to all.“
CCF administers the funds that make these C&TT scholarships possible. Begun in 2011, over $28,000 has been awarded to date. Of the 206 CHS graduates, fifty-four percent of the graduates will attend community colleges or trade schools. CCF is proud to offer these scholarships to assist with those endeavors.
