Description

The Yeager Science Scholarship was established to provide support to students graduating from Coast Union, Morro Bay or Paso Robles High School. The four year scholarship's purpose is to make a positive difference in the life of the recipient (and thereby also in the larger society). It is targeted especially at students who, because of being economically/culturally disadvantaged, would find attending college difficult/unlikely without the encouragement and financial help provided by a scholarship. The scholarship is targeted at students intending to major in the physical sciences and related fields.
