CPHA looks forward to having many more applicants for the 2010 CPHA Scholarship.  If you would like to learn more about the scholarship program, please contact CPHA President, Amie Martinez, at 575.638.5012, or by emailing asanka(at)windstream.net.

CPHA originally had announced that only two $500.00 scholarships would be awarded in 2009.  Due to generous donations received from Cerro Pedernal community members, CPHA was able to increase both the dollar amount and the number of awards given in this first year of the scholarship program. 

Thank you to our generous community for making dreams come true!

If anyone would like to make a donation in support of the 2010 scholarship program, please send a check to Cerro Pedernal Heritage Association, at PO Box 144, Youngsville, NM, 87064.  Such a donation is tax deductible and you will receive a receipt from Luciente, Inc., a 501c (3) organization, which is CPHA’s fiscal sponsor.
