Calaveras
Community Foundation (CCF) presented Career and Technical Training scholarships
to eight high school students from both Bret Harte and Calaveras High Schools
at recent award ceremonies. Each recipient will receive $1200.
Graduating
high school students and their anticipated college and field of study are as
follows: Sierra Wade-Bryan’s College-Court Reporting; Carleigh Bates-Cabrillo
College-Diagnostic Imaging; Clay Norman-No. California College of
Construction-Heavy Equipment; Raymond Schulze-Modesto JC-Fire Service; Jordan
Fisher-Sacramento City College-Medical; Benton Frye-Delta College-Mechanics;
Kyle Caires-Consumnes River College-Electrical Lineman; and Kayla
Sadler-Modesto JC-Agriculture.
The
widely varied fields of study above illustrate that there are many other career
paths or certificates of training other than traditional four-year degrees.
2013 is the third year that these scholarships have been given.
Scott
Ratterman, CCF Grants & Scholarship Chair says, “I am so amazed each year
at how well this community supports our local high school graduates. Our C&TT scholarship is just one more way
that CCF is making a difference in our community and I am proud to be a part of
it.”
As
a 501 c 3 non-profit organization, CCF administers the funds that made these scholarships
possible. Business partners who earmark
their generous donations to benefit the C&TT fund are Pacific Gas &
Electric Sierra Pacific Industries and Save Mart Supermarkets along with
numerous individuals and other businesses.
