NBC 7 was on campus this afternoon to feature the direct effect of a generous $1 million gift from philanthropist Roger Frey that comes to San Diego Community College District students completing healthcare degrees and certificates – including the EMT program at San Diego Miramar College, who will receive financial assistance to cover their licensing costs. Thanks to a generous $1 million gift from philanthropist Roger Frey, San Diego Community College District students completing healthcare degrees and certificates – including the EMT program at San Diego Miramar College — will receive financial assistance to cover their licensing costs. By removing this final financial barrier, students will be able to start their careers immediately in these essential and in-demand healthcare roles. The gift, the largest of its kind in SDCCD history, builds upon Frey’s earlier $600,000 contribution and marks the first major donation toward a new $12-million endowment campaign that will permanently sustain the SDCCD’s Ready2Work program. These contributions will have a lasting impact not just on our students, but on the health and wellbeing of the entire San Diego community.
