San Diego County Ford dealers give 100 high school seniors $1,000 scholarships. Through the program, over $4.6 million have been awarded to assist over 4,600 students.
SAN DIEGO – The San Diego County Ford Dealers and Ford Motor Company executive will present 150 $1,000 scholarships to local high school seniors through the San Diego County Salute to Education scholarship program on Thursday, April 20 at 7:00 p.m. at the San Diego Air & Space Museum in Balboa Park. One lucky recipient will also win a new Ford Mustang, Bronco Sport or Maverick at the Scholarship Announcement Ceremony.
“These scholarships are an investment in the youth of the community,” adds Rob Kaffl, Director of U. S. Sales & Market Representation for Ford Motor Company, who will be a part of the Scholarship Announcement Ceremony. “Unlike so many scholarships, the San Diego County Salute to Education scholarships are for vocational schools, technical schools, junior colleges and universities.”
High school seniors residing in San Diego County and attending an accredited high school, eligible to graduate this spring semester, who did not receive a full four-year scholarship to a college or university were eligible to apply.
