This year 203 students will collectively receive $508,383 to attend colleges, universities and trade schools during the 2014-2015 school year. Recipients are eligible for the scholarship for four years and are sometimes granted a 5th year based on their school and degree program. "Our family is very proud of our scholarship program and we view our scholarship awards as an investment in the future," said Carolyn Emmerson Dietz, Foundation President. "We are especially pleased to help these outstanding young people further their education beyond high school and become tomorrow's leaders," she added. The Sierra Pacific Foundation was founded in 1979 and to date has donated over $5 million dollars in scholarships. In addition to scholarships, the Foundation contributes to youth activities and other organizations in the communities where Sierra Pacific Industries operates. SPF recently announced it will make a $1 million contribution over five years to Redding's One SAFE Place shelter for victims of abuse, and is also contributing $500,000 for construction of the Ida Emmerson Hospice House being built in Eureka, CA.
