Philosophy

Curt Monson loved to discuss education and its impact with anyone who would listen. He believed that it was the key to his success and truly had a passion for lifelong learning inside and outside the classroom. Education is first and foremost on all of our minds, and we are always asking “What is your plan?” “What do you want to do with your life?” and “What is your GPA in order to do that?”

In response to these questions, our founder Curt Monson created his own “scholarships” for tuition and books for his relatives, so that they could go on to college and receive an education. He would drive to Merced, California where many of his relatives resided and hold seminars with his young relatives discussing the virtues and importance of education.

To support Curt’s belief that everyone must have an education, CAM has created the Scholarship program to help students knock down the financial barriers to receiving an education by providing scholarships to students who would not be able to attend a university or a trade school without financial assistance.
