SAUSD Graduates Receive THINK Together Scholarships

Wednesday night, August 25th, was an evening of celebration for Valley High graduate, Andrew Cruz, and Century High graduate, Rosalia Flores. Both Santa Ana students from the Senior Class of 2010 were awarded THINK Together’s 1st Annual High School Programs Scholarship. Over the next two years, each winner will be awarded a total of $2,500 to help them as they progress through community college.

To qualify students had to be active participants in the THINK Together programs at their high school, have a cumulative GPA between 2.4 and 2.9 (a range where scholarships are rarely given), and complete a scholarship application which included a personal essay.

Andrew Cruz will be attending Goldenwest College in Huntington Beach this Fall; while Rosalia Flores will be attending Santa Ana College.
