As part of their annual scholarship program, the Morongo Basin Conservation Association has awarded college scholarships to three local graduating high school seniors.
The MBCA seeks to award $1000 to three students who have committed to including conservation and environmental interests in their education and career plans.
MBCA’s Conservation Scholarship has been awarded to Jocelyn Gonzalez of Yucca Valley High School, who is planning to study biological sciences at Cal State Fullerton.
The Women’s STEAM Scholarship (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) is provided anonymously by two generations of women who held careers in STEAM fields. Molly Brown of Yucca Valley High School is this year’s recipient, and the scholarship will help fund her study at University of Utah in Chemical Engineering.
The Rieman Scholarship, given in memory of renowned local artist, conservationist, and longtime MBCA member Steve Rieman to a student interested in environmentally-conscious creativity was awarded to Meghann Arballo of Yucca Valley High School, who will study dance and psychology at San Diego State University.
