SCHOLARSHIP

The engineering, environmental sciences, and computer technology disciplines require well-trained, well-educated staff. To support the development of qualified candidates in these careers, VESTRA Resources Inc. has sponsored scholarships to students in our community since 2003.  

 

Annually, VESTRA awards scholarships to local high school students or continuing college students in the fields of math, natural or physical sciences, technologies, and related areas of study.

These career areas reflect the discipline requirements for the types of projects completed by VESTRA. The scholarships are open to Shasta County residents and/or high school graduates attending a Shasta County high school who will be attending an accredited 4-year college or university, students transferring from a 2-year or junior college program to a 4-year accredited college or university, and continuing students at 4-year accredited colleges or universities in the fields of math, natural or physical sciences, technologies, and related areas of study. 

The VESTRA scholarship program is merit based. The purpose is to recognize and assist outstanding young high school graduates and college undergraduates. Awards are based on academic performance, leadership, and career interest. Preference is given to students that have completed either calculus or statistics, or other advanced classes in math and science. The scholarship program is limited to residents of Shasta County and/or high school graduates currently attending a Shasta County high school. Students attending colleges/universities outside Shasta County or out of state may apply as long as they have not changed their residency status. The scholarship program does not apply to students who will be attending 2-year or junior college programs. Applicants must possess a minimum GPA of 3.5 as a graduating senior and continuing college student. Previous scholarship recipients may reapply in order to compete for an additional year.
