“The California Association of Regulatory Investigators and Inspectors is proud to once again present scholarships to four well-deserving applicants to help get through these trying times. As hard as it is to make ends meet these days, it felt good to be able to provide a little something to help. It was nice to meet these fine young men and women and their parents who are our members and who give so much of themselves to our state. The scholarship recipients are all very deserving and great students. We wish them all the best in their education and vocational goals.” – CARII President Tom Ineichen
