CVEP Congratulates Scholarship Winners   

This past Saturday, CVEP's Pathways to Success held an awards program for this year's scholarship award winners.  This year, 428 local students are being awarded over $1.8 million in scholarship funds.  These students are attending Universities and colleges throughout the nation with the majority beginning their college careers here at College of the Desert.  These scholarship winners not only get much needed money for college they are also mentored by CVEP Pathways to Success Counselors who provide guidance, advice and support.  CVEP has an ad in this week's issue of The Public Record congratulating the scholarship winners and thanking all those who make the scholarships possible.  Both KPSP Local 2 and KMIR 6 aired segments on the ceremony, please click on the highlighted links to watch the coverage.
