Copper Mountain College Foundation is proud to announce Lindsey Mountz of Yucca Valley as the 2021 Greenleaf Scholarship winner.
Through a rigorous application process, Mountz along with four other finalists, Markina Evdokimoff, Lacy Lenniger, Trinity Mecham, and Tommie Jones, all from Yucca Valley High School showed their stellar character in written and oral interviews.
Mountz who attends Yucca Valley High School, was chosen out of a highly competitive field to receive this year’s Greenleaf Scholarship. The scholarship will pay for tuition, books and fees plus living expenses while Mountz attends Copper Mountain College. In addition, those same expenses will be paid while she attends a University to complete a baccalaureate degree.
Endowed by local banker F. Roy Greenleaf Jr., the scholarship is awarded each year to a promising student that is interested in learning, is success oriented, has performed well in school, and shows a desire to return to the Morongo Basin upon completion of her education. “I have an unmatched love and passion for bettering the community that has raised me,” Lindsey said, who aspires to become a high school biology teacher, preferably in the Morongo Basin.
