Scholarships awarded

By Janice Wood · May 15, 2011 ·

This year as part of the annual “Green Skills for Life” competition, the San Diego Air & Space Museum (SDASM) and Ford Motor Company Fund asked San Diego County students the following question: What is one change or action you think you and others could do in your everyday lives in order to make the world a greener place? They could submit their entries as either artwork or a short video. From hundreds of entries, four winners each received a $1,000 scholarship from the Ford Motor Company Fund.

“We’re delighted to continue our multi-year partnership with Ford Motor Company Fund,” said Jim Kidrick, museum president. “We’re reaching more students than ever before, allowing them to showcase their incredible art and film-making skills, and sharing important messages about the environment, all at once.”
