MSJC Award 57 Students with Scholarships at Luncheon

Nearly $60,000 in scholarships were awarded to 57 students during Mt. San Jacinto College's annual President's State of the College Luncheon and Fall Scholarship Awards Ceremony.

The event took place on Nov. 19, at the Menifee Lakes Country Club. Normally held on the Menifee Campus, the event was moved to accommodate the growing number of students benefitting from scholarships.

MSJC student Oxana Foster became the first student to receive the Joanne Hinchliff Memorial Scholarship. MSJC Foundation Board Member Sherri Domenigoni created the scholarship after Hinchliff, one of MSJC’s first professors, who died earlier this year.

The Alma Brook Memorial Scholarship, new to the MSJC Foundation, was awarded to students Brandi Koch and Rodrick Williams.

Lance Rodriguez is the first student to be awarded the Joan Sparkman Scholarship. Sparkman, a former member of the MSJC Board of Trustees, presented the award to Rodriguez, a military veteran, and thanked him for his service to the country.
