Since its inception in 2015, the Cal Coast Cares Foundation has awarded more than $1 million in student scholarships and teacher grants.
“Our mission at the foundation is to help local high school seniors, foster students, and college students achieve their dream of attaining a college degree, and to help educators provide additional innovative, inspiring learning experiences for their students,” said Penney Newell, Cal Coast Cares Foundation manager and board member.
“Receiving this grant made it possible for me to offer my students the opportunity to learn principles of mechanical, electrical, software, and systems engineering in a fun, hands-on manner,” said Carrie Northum, teacher at San Ysidro High School.
