  • The Class of 2014 was offered $873,000 in Doyle Scholarships.
  • Anonymous Gift programs launched with $175,000 in awards to students (Teaching Fellowships, Foster Youth Incentive Awards and Transferring Scholarships).
  • Chancellor’s Office Management Information Systems data for 13-14 shows that the SRJC Scholarship Programs is #1 in all California community colleges with $1,089,000 in Scholarship awards. We are the only school in the California Community College system with over $1M in scholarship awards. (Our total does not include transferring scholarships as these do not get recognized through MIS because these students don’t attend SRJC the year they receive their award…this would be another $350,000+ in awards)
