The Investment in Community Fellowship of up to $10,000 is awarded each year to one (or more) deserving graduate student(s) born, raised and/or living in Monterey County and who intends to be of service and provide leadership to the coastal communities of the Monterey Peninsula. The award can be used to cover the ordinary costs of graduate school including tuition, books, room, and board.
The Willis W. and Ethel M. Clark Foundation was established in 1953 and has enjoyed over sixty years of community service on the Monterey Peninsula. Its founders were pioneers in educational testing and research and in 1926 started the California Test Bureau (CTB). The Clarks loved the Monterey Peninsula and in 1958 moved the company’s headquarters from Los Angeles to Monterey. In 1965, the company was sold to McGraw-Hill, and is now known as DRC CTB.
Completed applications must be received by: January 31, 2017. Fellowship(s) will be awarded in spring of 2017 to be used in the 2017-18 academic year.
