Crafton Hills College recently accepted a check for $15,000 from Edison International for scholarships and instruction.

 

“We are excited to increase the number of scholarships we can provide our students,” said Michelle Riggs, assistant director of resource development. “Textbook costs can be prohibitive to students entering college, especially in the STEM fields, so this is very much appreciated.”

The $15,000 grant is earmarked for ten $1,000 scholarships for STEM students, and the remainder to update fire curriculum to meet the State Fire Training revised certification standards.

“We are so thankful to be able to review and update our curriculum to meet the new standards,” said June Yamamoto, dean of career education and human development. “We pride ourselves on providing state-of-the-art instruction in our career education programs. These funds will ensure that our fire cadets are experiencing real-life simulations.”

Crafton Hills is proud to work in partnership with Edison International in support of community needs and priorities.
