Clayton Trejo Scholarship Award Program

Each year the Los Angeles and Orange Area Chapter of the MSA awards qualified individuals scholarship funds to assist them in furthering their education. Award recipients must be nominated by a member in good standing with the Los Angeles and Orange Area Chapter of the MSA. Each applicant is reviewed by our scholarship committee.

Notice:
On October 28, 2015, the Board of Directors voted to rename the Scholarship Award Program to the "Clayton Trejo Scholarship Award Program" in honor of longtime member Clayton Trejo.  The following is a copy of the Proclamation renaming the program.
