Shaping the Leaders of Tomorrow
The Women in Technology Scholarship is an annual award up to $10,000 for any female pursuing a career in technology through certification courses and/or college courses in technology. Applicants need to be female, residents of Monterey County, and taking coursework (college or certification courses) in technology. Applicants need to complete the application to be considered. Funds can be used to cover tuition, fees, books, computers or devices, software or web-based applications, transportation, childcare, and other expenses incurred while completing coursework and attending classes.
Making a Difference One Child at a Time
The Foundation @MCOE empowers youth to reach their fullest potential through a wide range of services. Corona Virus has brought many challenges to Monterey County Schools. The first challenge is to provide the means for distance learning for all of our students- expensive WiFi at home and computers. Our Digital Equity group is raising funds to purchase computers for low-income students to use, and supporting WiFi solutions for their parents. Please help us raise funds for this effort.

Paving the way for Future Business Professionals
Help to prepare our youth in a business career pathway! Our students learn alongside industry professionals to experience what a career in business would be like. Whether they are future accountants, sales & marketing professionals or project managers, our students learn the basics, and then practice what they know inside a real business. This opportunity helps our students to figure out what business major they are most interested in, when they enter college.
We would like to offer a small stipend to our students for their efforts. No one should work for free, even if they are learning. Please help us to prepare the next generations of successful entrepreneurs!
