SAN JOAQUIN DELTA COLLEGE AWARDS OVER $250,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS (Stockton, CA) The San Joaquin Delta College Scholarship Program will award over $250,000 to recipients at their annual Scholarship Awards Ceremony on Thursday, Aug. 7th, 3 p.m. at Atherton Auditorium. The public is welcome. This year, over 380 individual scholarships will be awarded to 225 recipients, with many students receiving multiple scholarships. Students are awarded scholarship money under various criteria, including grade point average (GPA) and demonstrated financial need. Awards range from $100 to $2,000. Delta’s Scholarship Awards Ceremony has been an annual event since 1980, when the program first awarded $43,000 in scholarships. During the past 29 years, Delta’s Scholarship Program has awarded almost $4.5-million in scholarships. San Joaquin Delta College Superintendent/President, Dr. Raul Rodriguez, believes Delta’s success in building its scholarship fund depends on the efforts of its employees and community members. “Delta’s Scholarship Program is a partnership between the college, community organizations and individuals whose generous financial support honors and promotes higher education. We deeply appreciate and applaud the commitment of our community partners. We simply could not do it without them.” Rodriguez says the wish of Delta College is to make students’ dreams come true. He believes Delta’s Scholarship Program will make considerable progress toward that goal. “The pride of Delta College is our students, especially our scholarship recipients. We’re here to assist in every way we can.” For a complete list of recipients or additional information, please contact the Office of Financial Aid and Veterans Services at (209) 954-5115, or visit their web site at finaid.deltacollege.edu. ###
