De Anza student receives $20,000 scholarship
The University of California at Santa Cruz recently awarded a $20,000 scholarship to De Anza College student Joshua Luke, 22, of San Jose. The scholarship is one of the largest awarded to a De Anza student.
The award is presented by UCSC's Karl S. Pister Leadership Opportunity Program, which provides scholarship support to community college students who demonstrate excellence through activities that assist and improve the lives of others. Award winners exhibit leadership qualities, preserver over adverse socioeconomic conditions and would otherwise be unable to attend UCSC because of financial need.
Luke's activities on the De Anza campus focused primarily on the De Anza mural project, a work of art designed by students and slated to go up on campus later this summer.
