Scholarships
How We Have Helped
Since 2011, over $130,000 in scholarships have been awarded to Lucerne Valley Unified School District students. These scholarships have helped them in their pursuit of education and training in the fields of science, technology, engineering, mathematics and related fields.
MCCEF has been so generous in helping fund our sixth grade class trip to Disneyland for many years now! Without their help, we would not have been able to continue this field trip due to the rising costs.
