Dr. Carreón Foundation is excited to invite high school seniors, college students, and tra e school students to apply for a 2025 scholarship with the application process now open. The application is on the foundation’s website www.carreonfoundation. org. Submissions will be accepted through mid-March 2025, but applicants are encouraged to submit the required materials sooner rather than later. Scholarships will be awarded to qualified applicants of minority ethnicities throughout the Coachella Valley and Blythe. Requirements include having at least a 3.0 unweighted grade point average for all four years of high school work completed; and demonstrating qualities of good citizenship, leadership, and financial need. The money awarded can be used toward tuition, school supplies, and living expenses. Recipients have attended schools locally and across the country including College of the Desert, CSUSB Palm Desert, University of Southern California, UCLA, MIT, and Harvard University, to name a few. To date the Foundation has awarded more than $2 million in scholarships to over 1,200 students. The 2024 scholarship awards totaled $180,000, one of the most ever. This outlay was made possible due in part to sponsorships, grants, and donations from local organizations and individuals, such as OneFuture CV, Desert Care Network, six area Rotary Clubs, and many other generous partners and individuals. The late Dr. Reynaldo J. Carreón established the Reynaldo J. Carreón M. D. Foundation before his death in 1991. The mission of the Foundation is to support initiatives that will lead to increased and enhanced educational opportunities for underprivileged youth in the Coachella Valley as they prepare to become leaders of our Now Accepting Scholarship Applications continued on page 43
