The 51 scholarships, which are derived from scholarship endowments and annual gifts, will be awarded to 39 students during fall 2005 and spring 2006.

"These students are the role models for the college with all of them making excellent progress toward their degree goals," said J. Michael Kabo, associate dean of the college. "The scholarships provide us with great opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of our students."

"The generous investments that our donors make to our programs and students are indicative of the confidence they have in the quality of the education that our students are receiving here at Cal State Northridge," said Tammy Glenn, director of development and public relations for the College of Engineering and Computer Sciences.

Cal State Northridge's College of Engineering and Computer Science is home to several nationally recognized programs where students gain valuable hands-on experience working alongside faculty members and industry professionals on cutting-edge research.
