Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.
- Nelson Mandela
These famous words are a philosophy held by millions and an inspiration for young people around the globe to rise to the challenge to make a difference in their lives and communities.
The California Strawberry Scholarship Program demonstrates the strawberry community's appreciation and gratitude for the invaluable contributions that farm workers make by helping their children pursue their dreams through higher education. For the past 17 years, the program has awarded more than $1.3 million in college support to hundreds of students. Here are some of their stories.
Today, hundreds of students and graduates are pursuing their passions and working as professionals, such as teachers, doctors, nurses and engineers – across a variety of fields. Many return to their home communities, acting as inspirational role models as well as serving in important community roles.
