AEP CCC Community College Scholarship

AEP CCC Community College Scholarship Information

The Channel Counties Chapter of the Association of Environmental Professionals (AEP) is dedicated to supporting students who are planning to engage in a career in the environmental field. As part of our support endeavors, we are offering three $500 scholarships to undergraduate students attending Cuesta College, Allan Hancock College, Santa Barbara City College, or Ventura College. We are enthusiastic about supporting all hardworking students in this particularly challenging time. Due to factors related to COVID-19 and the ever-increasing costs of higher education, community college remains an attractive option for the next generation of bright and diverse environmental professionals.
