Carleton W. Lockwood Memorial Scholarship – Carleton W. Lockwood, a civil engineer in Rialto, was well known for his top-rate engineering skills, his invaluable contributions to Rialto’s city development, and his strong principles and trustworthiness. In addition to doing many jobs in the Inland Empire, Lockwood Engineering and Surveying Company also worked on various jobs in Nevada for the military in the early 1960s, including working in Area 51 on the runway for the now famous SR-71 reconnaissance jet.

Carleton earned his Bachelor’s of Civil Engineering from Clarkson College of Technology in Potsdam, New York.
