Cerro Coso student, Kaylee Stuart is in charge of her future and the success it will bring and she is doing everything she can to turn her dreams into reality. A 2011 graduate of Mesquite High School, Kaylee's dedication and self-motivation have caught the attention of several scholarship committees this fall.
Kaylee took concurrent college classes while finishing her high school studies and graduated from high school a year and a half early. "I work hard to accomplish anything I set my mind to and I finish everything I start" said Kaylee. In addition to her education, Kaylee enjoys dancing, reading, and babysitting, but her college work takes first priority.
Recognizing the tenacity of this young lady, Kaylee received the following scholarships this fall: Cerro Coso Community College Foundation Scholarship, Gilbert Plain Family Scholarship, Desert Area Teachers Association Scholarship, East Kern Youth Projects Scholarship, Rotary Club of China Lake Scholarship, and the Ridgecrest Lions Club Scholarships. All of these scholarships play an important role in helping Kaylee to achieve her educational goals.
Kaylee knows she wants to major in healthcare but not sure exactly what field, "perhaps a doctor of psychology" she said. "Students like Kaylee are inspiring and the Cerro Coso Community College Foundation is honored to be able to assist them in achieving their goals. These are financially trying times for our students and it is important that we all do our part to support their educational needs. These students are our future." - Cheryl Gates, CCCC Foundation President.
