The Retired Educators Scholarship Fund Board has announced the 2024-25 Continuing College Education Scholarships.
The following 2023 Scholarship recipients have received $1,000 for their second year of college. Congratulations Jaden Banks (Southern University A & M), Jordan Irwin (Sonoma State), Sophia Lee (UC San Diego), Srihita Panati (Contra Costa College), and Maricela Taylor-Ortiz (UC Berkeley). These outstanding scholars join their 2022 scholarship colleagues who are now juniors and have qualified for a second round of their Continuing College Education Scholarship for their third year of college: Kylee Hu (UC San Diego), Anjelika Khadka (UC Davis), Hillary Khuu (UC Berkeley), Jacob Klein (UC Davis), and Eveling Rodriguez Torres (UC Merced).
How it works – recipients of an original graduating senior scholarship are invited to apply for a $1,000 scholarship the following year to go towards a second year of college/trade school to support them in furthering their education. Five scholarships are given and may be extended to the third and fourth years of college if criteria are met.
