Group Launches Annual College Scholarship Program

California Water Service Group (el Grupo) anunció hoy que ya está aceptando solicitudes para la novena edición de su programa de becas universitarias anual, destinado a estudiantes que residan en las áreas de servicio de sus subsidiarias de California, Hawaii, New Mexico y Washington. Este año, la compañía de servicios asignará becas por un valor total de $80,000.

Four $10,000 scholarships will be awarded, along with additional scholarships ranging from $2,500 to $5,000. Eligible applicants must plan to enroll in a full-time undergraduate study program at an accredited college, university, or vocational-technical school for the upcoming academic year. Scholarships will be awarded based on academic achievement, community service, and financial need.

"We want to make a difference in the communities we serve and are committed to investing in the education of our local students," said Martin A. Kropelnicki, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are amazed at the quality of students who apply each year; these future leaders are dedicated to their communities and families, and are consistently high achievers. We encourage any students who meet the eligibility criteria to apply."

Las becas anuales forman parte del programa de donaciones filantrópicas del Grupo, financiado por los accionistas, y no inciden en las tarifas de los clientes. El programa es administrado por Scholarship America, una organización sin fines de lucro 501(c)(3). Hasta la fecha, a través de su programa, el Grupo ha otorgado becas a estudiantes por un valor de $520,000.
