All recipients will be graduating, transferring to a four-year university, or will be completing a certificate program by the end of summer. They will receive permanent honorary membership in Mu Omicron Delta (men) and Alpha Gamma Eta (women), the distinguished honorary societies of Fullerton College, and will receive scholarships provided by Associated Students, Schools First Federal Credit Union, NOCCCD District Management Association, Dr. Janet and Henry Emoto, many personal donors.
