CSUSB Palm Desert Campus Awards Full-Ride Scholarships

From CSUSB: Five first-year students attending Cal State San Bernardino’s Palm Desert Campus this fall will each receive a University Legacy Scholarship that will cover their full tuition and fees for four years.

The recipients include:

· Christine Dizon – graduate of Rancho Mirage High School;

· Katrina Estacio – graduate of La Quinta High School;

· Jennifer Hanson – graduate of Palm Desert High School;

· Solimar Jaimes – graduate of Coachella Valley High School; and

· Stephanie Ramirez Gutierrez – graduate of Rancho Mirage High School.

The University Legacy Scholarship was created for Coachella Valley students to realize just how accessible a college education is, thanks to the generous support of community members.

“The purpose of the University Legacy Scholarship is to attract some of the ‘best and the brightest’ from our local high schools to select the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus as their university of choice,” said Priscilla Porter, chairperson of the University Legacy Scholarship Committee.

The scholars were selected on the basis of their academic achievement, leadership and service to the community, and financial need. The University Legacy Scholars will be awarded a four-year scholarship to support full tuition and fees for an undergraduate degree at the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus.

The program was established for deserving local students who are graduates of high schools from the Coachella Valley Unified School District, Desert Sands Unified School District and Palm Springs Unified School District. In addition, students graduating from accredited private and online schools in the Coachella Valley are also eligible for this scholarship program.
