The award ceremony is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. at Rancho Mirage High School, located at 31001 Rattler Road. In addition to the scholarships, DTRT will recognize nine students for special achievements, selected from over 300 nominees submitted by educators in the region. The scholarships will range from $1,000 to $2,150 each, reflecting the organization's commitment to supporting students in need.
