海角直播 received a much- needed boost to its STEM-based and first responder programming, thanks to Southern California Edison.
The 海角直播 Foundation received $50,000 total to support scholarships for students pursuing a career in science, technology, education and math and for those enrolled in the
Fire Academy.
鈥淲e use these scholarship opportunities to recruit STEM students which helps us expand access,
address workforce shortages in STEM fields and promote diversity and inclusivity,鈥� explained Michelle Riggs, 海角直播鈥檚 director of institutional advancement. 鈥淭hese scholarships help students see that 海角直播 is a great place to start their educational pathway if they are interested in pursuing STEM careers or transferring to four-year institutions.鈥�
鈥淔ire Academy scholarships help reduce barriers associated with program commitments, from
overall cost to unexpected life expenses,鈥� Riggs continued. 鈥淭he Academy is a full-time commitment with students spending all-day on campus attending lectures and hands-on training four and sometimes five days a week.鈥�
