President’s Scholars Graduating

Eighteen members of the President’s Scholars program at Cal State Fullerton will be among those taking part in this month’s commencement ceremonies.

The President’s Scholars program was established in 1979 to recognize and attract a distinguished group of academically accomplished students. Based solely on merit, the scholars program offers a variety of benefits, including a four-year scholarship that covers tuition fees and a book allowance.
