The student must be a current, full-time student at a four-year college or university, must have earned a minimum of 90 semester units by the end of spring semester, and must be firmly committed to a career as a public school teacher. The second scholarship will be awarded to a teacher currently employed by Morongo Unified School District. The teacher must belong to the Morongo Teachers Association and must be enrolled or ready to enroll in a course of study that will provide professional or personal advancement.
