2019 SCAG Scholarship Winners Approved

​The Regional Council has voted to approve the Scholarship Committee recommendations for the 2019 SCAG Scholarship Program Awards. This year, SCAG received 111 applications from high school and community college students from across the region. 10 outstanding students were selected for scholarships, representing all six of SCAG’s member counties. The SCAG Scholarship Program provides each winner with both a monetary award of $4,000 and a two-week internship with SCAG or a local planning agency, in order to help students build the foundation for a career in urban planning and local government. The scholarship recipients are as follows: Mariano Peinado (El Centro), Arianna Gonzalez (North Hills), Do Khym (Cerritos), Morgan Kopecky (Irvine), Daniel Sosa (Riverside), Kayla Ferrer (Adelanto), Sarah Laufenberg (Thousand Oaks), Darling Gonzalez (Bell Gardens) and Shaun Howard (Aliso Viejo). Congratulations to these future leaders in Southern California’s planning and governing community!
