Carreón Scholars have attended some 50 colleges and universities throughout the United States. The total investment by the Dr. Carreón Foundation in direct student financial support is nearly $1.5 million. Over 475 students from the Coachella Valley have benefitted from these scholarships, and it is proud that 85% of its scholars graduate college. The foundation has also awarded more than $300,000 in grants to local organizations, including a donation in 1985 to finance the iconic “International Fountain of Knowledge” at College of the Desert.
