Recently, Mayor Gabriel Reyes announced the creation of the Adelanto Scholarship Program. Starting later this year, graduating students who plan on attending a local college or university will be eligible to apply to receive scholarship funds from the new program.
Funded by taxes collected from the cannabis industry that have brought millions of dollars annually to the City of Adelanto, Mayor Reyes and the City Council approved the new Adelanto Scholarship Program to encourage local students to continue their education and pursue their dreams.
“I would like thank my Mayor Pro-Tem Daniel Ramos who spearheaded this effort,” said Mayor Reyes.
Mayor Pro Tem Daniel Ramos added, “The cannabis community is showing its strength, commitment and dedication to being and doing MORE for our Adelanto community. It’s an amazing feeling to know that Adelanto will be the second city in the country, and the FIRST city in the State of California, to fund college tuition for our youth through cannabis revenue. The biggest takeaway of all this, is the fact that families lives WILL be changed forever, and we will now be breaking a generational curse that has held our children back for many years. Thank you thank you thank you to our amazing cannabis community, we salute you!”
