MSJC Foundation Celebrates Scholarship Recipients at Wilson Creek Winery

More than 50 Mt. San Jacinto College students received nearly $90,000 in scholarship funds during the MSJC Foundation’s annual Scholarship Reception. The May 9 event was held at Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula.

A total of $87,375 was awarded to 54 students during the annual scholarship reception. Nursing major Giti Skolnick of Murrieta, who plans on transferring to Cal Poly Pomona, received a total of four scholarships.“I have started my academic journey with a goal of becoming a certified nurse/midwife,” Skolnick said. “I have a strong interest in women’s physical and psychological health and its influence on the self, the pregnancy and the children.”

Rene’ Michelle Floyd, a Perris resident, won first place in the SOCO Business Competition – a competition for MSJC students modeled after the TV show “Shark Tank.” She received $5,000. The SOCO Group awarded a total of $20,000 to four students.
