Promise Scholarship Cohort
This Fall, the Cañada College
launched its Promise Scholarship and welcomed its first ever Cañada Scholars
cohort. There are 47 students receiving the scholarship and come from diverse
backgrounds, including Student Athletes, Student Ambassadors, students in programs
such as TRIO, ESO Adelante, Puente. The students are also connected with the
Disability Resource Center, STEM Center, Transfer Center and SparkPoint along
with many other programs and services.
The College
welcomed Cañada Scholars to a Welcome Event where students were greeted by
President Moore, met their fellow cohort members and ate lunch while
interacting with staff to win Bookstore gift cards. At the event, 40 students
attended and 30 students signed up for mid-semester progress check-ins with
their Promise Counselor, Daryan Chan. The STEM Center, Financial Aid,
SparkPoint and the Counseling Center were all present and offered great advice
and support to students.
