THE GREENLEAF FUND The Foundation administers the Roy and Beverlie Greenleaf Education Fund, through which a local high school senior is selected each year to receive a full college education scholarship (tuition, fees, and living expenses) that continues throughout the scholar’s education at Copper Mountain College and later undergraduate and graduate studies elsewhere.  Three “Greenleaf Scholars” are now participating: two at CopperMountainCollege and the first at San Diego State University. For more information on this scholarship or how you can become involved with the CMC Foundation please contact Barbara Workman at 760.366.5296. ROY GREENLEAF The Greenleaf Scholarship was set up by the late Roy Greenleaf, Jr., a local banker and benefactor who gave his entire estate to the Foundation to help local, needy and deserving students achieve their educational goals.  He wanted to assist students who possessed a strong determination to succeed as well as demonstrated a desire to help others in school, family and the community.                        TOLLY WAITE 2007 F.
