The foundation's Chargers Champions grants, announced last week, go to campuses to develop fitness and nutrition programs and to students who have shown leadership.
For example, three schools received $40,000: Cajon Valley Community Day School in El Cajon for outdoor fitness equipment; Granger Junior High School in National City for a fitness center; and Taft Middle School in Serra Mesa for a sports center.
The students each will receive a $7,000 scholarship for college and a new laptop computer, donated by Sony. Many students will be the first in their family to attend college.
