The Milpitas Community Education Foundation (MCEF) is pleased to partner with community organizations. We are partnering with VEDA (Vedic Education and Devotional Academy) in Milpitas this year. They have generously donated $2000 to fund a grant for MUSD to encourage learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM).
