Guardian Scholars are exceptional when they enter the program – exceptional for their ambition and determination to earn a college degree despite the difficulties and disappointments they have been handed in life. In the Guardian Scholars program they encounter caring people: university advisors, donors, board members, community members and others who are equally determined that these youth have access to the resources necessary to fulfill their dreams. As a partner, you can assist these youth as they design their university experience, work lives and futures.

It is a true joy getting to know these bright, motivated, and hardworking young scholars each year. They are all quality students with great outlooks on life; most of them have overcome so many obstacles to get where they are today, their determination and dogmatic attitudes are inspiring to anybody that meets them.

I can honestly say that it is a true honor to be a part of such a great program. I have been blessed in many different ways and contributing to the Guardian Scholars at Cal State Fullerton is my way of giving back to the community. It has been and will continue to be my pleasure to share a role in such an elite cause.
