For the first time since 2019, Miramar College held its annual scholarship awards ceremony on campus. With COVID-19 safety protocols in place, Miramar College students, their guests and families, along with the College’s classified professional staff and faculty, San Diego Community College District officials and community partners gathered in L-105 to watch the two-hour presentation. This was the 28th annual Scholarship Awards Ceremony. Last year’s event took place over Zoom, while the 2020 ceremony was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This year, the Miramar College Foundation administered 72 awards to 161 recipients totaling $118,049. This total includes 28 external awards.
The Miramar College Foundation itself presented 44 scholarship awards totaling $77,750.
“It has been a very difficult past two years for our students, faculty and staff and we are grateful to be back on campus hosting this very special event,” said Dr. Wesley P. Lundburg, president of Miramar College. “Our students faced many obstacles since the start of the pandemic, and we here at the College and Foundation are very happy to honor those who decided to continue to work towards their educational goals despite those obstacles.”
The Miramar College Foundation, a California nonprofit public benefit corporation, was officially created on August 21, 1994 and is committed to supporting the diverse population of Miramar College students by raising scholarship funds.
The annual Scholarship Awards Ceremony is organized by the College’s Financial Aid and Scholarship Office.
