President’s Scholars Graduate

EIGHTEEN MEMBERS OF THE PRESIDENT’S SCHOLARS program were among those taking part in this year’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 enrollment fees and a book allowance.

Scholars have the opportunity to participate in undergraduate research, partner with faculty members in their major and participate in campus leadership and community activities. Scholars also have the opportunity to meet periodically with CSUF President Milton A. Gordon and attend university events.
