In addition, Corpsmembers can access four general education credits from UC-Davis Extension (now Continuing and Professional Education) if they are interested in furthering their studies. The California Naturalist Certification is increasingly recognized as an asset for job-seekers in environmental education and natural resource management fields.

Like the CCC, the California Naturalist program emphasizes experiential learning with lots of hands-on and field based activities. The California Naturalist course is a perfect opportunity for Corpsmembers to continue their learning. The scholarship can be used to cover tuition, books, supplies, transportation, room, and board. It expires two years after a Corpsmember leaves the CCC. Now, California Naturalist courses offered by all our partners are eligible to accept the CCC Brad Duncan Scholarship as long as our partner organization completes a standard form from the State of California. The CCC Brad Duncan Scholarship can only be used to further education or training after completion of one year in the CCC. An additional second year scholarship of $2000 is available to qualified Corpsmembers.Until recently, Corpsmembers were not able to use their scholarship toward a UC California Naturalist certification course.
