Since 2003 VESTRA Resources, Inc. has sponsored scholarships to students in Shasta County. VESTRA offers scholarships to support the development of qualified candidates in the careers of math, natural or physical sciences, technologies, and related areas of study. The scholarships are awarded based on academic achievement, leadership capabilities and participation in extracurricular activities, as well as a desire to pursue a S.T.E.M.-related career.
The Scholarship Committee was fortunate to receive many strong candidates this year. After much consideration, the recipients of the 2024 VESTRA Math, Science and Technology scholarship awards are as follows:
Samantha Covert, Burney Jr./Sr. High School
Benjamin Cusworth, University Preparatory School
Anabella Kuykendall, Shasta High School
These students are all very accomplished and outstanding representatives of their schools and communities. We would like to thank all of the 2024 applicants; we truly appreciate the time you spent going through the application process. We wish you all continued success in your academic and professional goals.
