SAN JOSE, Calif. – As part of its commitment to improving the quality of life in the communities it serves, California Water Service Group has expanded its annual College Scholarship Program, which officially opened for applications today.

Beginning this year, eligible students residing in areas served by the utility’s New Mexico subsidiary now join those in its California, Hawaii, Washington subsidiaries in being able to apply for one of the scholarships under the larger $80,000 program.

Two $10,000 grand-prize scholarships will be awarded, and additional, smaller awards for college and higher-education expenses will start at $2,500.

To be eligible for the 2020 College Scholarship Program, students must be pursuing a degree in higher education and plan to enroll in a full-time undergraduate study program at an accredited college, university, or vocational-technical school for the upcoming academic year.

Scholarships will be awarded based on academic achievement, community service, and financial need.

“By expanding the California Water Service Group Scholarship Program, we are pleased we can support even more future leaders in the communities we serve,” said Martin A. Kropelnicki, president and chief executive officer. “We want to help reduce any financial barriers these bright, hard-working students may have on their path to success, and help make good things happen in our communities.”

The annual scholarships are part of the group’s stockholder-funded philanthropic giving program and do not affect customers’ rates. The program is administered by Scholarship America, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. To date, the group has provided $360,000 in scholarships to students through the program.

WOODLAND, Calif. – The community is invited to join the Woodland Community College Performing Arts Project Team for the final forum regarding the new Performing Arts Facility on Friday, Jan. 31.

The forum will take place in Community Room 800 at the Woodland Community College Campus, 2300 East Gibson Road in Woodland from noon to 1 p.m.

The total cost of the building is projected to be $42 million. Funding for the facility comes from the successful approval of the Measure J bond in 2006 and matching state funds from Proposition 51.

The new facility will house several programs including, culinary arts, fine arts, music and a state proscenium performing arts theater.

This project marks an important leap forward in WCC’s growth as a comprehensive community college by expanding opportunities for degrees and certificates.

As a landmark venue for performances and community events, the Performing Arts and Culinary Arts facility will be one of the college’s signature buildings and serve as the heart of the Woodland campus.

This community forum will allow those in attendance to learn about the work already completed and a glimpse into the next phase of the project.

The community is encouraged to ask questions, share comments, suggestions and recommendations. All information gathered at the forum will be considered.

The new building is scheduled to open in June 2023, with a groundbreaking planned for spring 2021.
