HUNTINGTON BEACH : Golden West College Awards Scholarships
Golden West College has awarded more than $500 in scholarships to 10 students in recognition of their academic achievements and community service during the past school year.
The scholarships are given annually to members of the college’s Alpha Gamma Sigma honor society. To qualify for the society, students must maintain a grade-point average of at least 3.0 and volunteer for community service activities.
The club’s Outstanding Member Award, which carries a $100 prize, went to Linda Monge of Huntington Beach. Monge, an elementary education major and a bilingual aide at Oak View Elementary School, previously was named Golden West’s Outstanding Student of the Year for 1990-91.
Scholarships of $75 were given to Monique Bhiladvala of Huntington Beach, an accounting major; Elizabeth Haddon of Norwalk, who is studying education for the hearing-impaired, and Janice Valerio of Westminster, a business administration major.
Receiving Service Awards were Shelly Heller of Huntington Beach, a business major; Adria Molina of Huntington Beach, a human services major, and Michelle Varsolona of Stanton, an education major. Each of them received a $50 scholarship.
Other Service Awards--with $25 prizes--went to Clinton Larson of Huntington Beach, a construction management major, and Carmen Ward of Newport Beach, a nursing major.
The honor society’s President’s Award went to Stephanie Larson of Anaheim, the group’s president for the past year. She also earned a $25 scholarship.
