The Nor-Cal Retired Coaches Association was established in 2014 by a group of retired coaches seeking to make an im- pact in our communities by sponsoring annual fun- draising events in an ef- fort to establish a scholar- ship fund. Funds raised are used to provide scholarships to graduating high school student-athletes planning to continue their educa- tion.

NOR-CAL RETIRED COACHES Association announces scholarship recipients Shasta College has a new Honors Program for area students to receive special consideration by transfer partners includ- ing UC Irvine, Amherst College, Pomona College, San Diego State Univer- sity and 18 other colleges and universities. The benefits Honors Graduates enjoy may in- clude guaranteed or pri- ority acceptance, special scholarships, and a range of additional academic, cultural and social bene- fits. The above benefits go beyond Shasta College's traditional agreements and provide increased op- portunities not previously available to students seek- ing to transfer to a univer- sity. Honors classes will be offered in subjects typi- cally required in general education patterns for transfer to universities. These classes are smaller, are led in seminar format, require higher levels of critical thinking, employ more sophisticated writ- ing skills, often use semi- nal texts and may engage students in fundamental research. With the addition of the Honors Program, Shasta College becomes a guest member of the Honors Transfer Council of Cali- fornia. Two years from the initiation of Shasta Col- lege's Honors Program, the college will be eligible to apply for Transfer Alli- ance Program inclusion at UCLA; TAP inclusion pro- vides significant consider- ation for students who are interested in transferring to UCLA.

Zingg announced Wednes- day a new scholarship that will help some of CSU, Chi- co's students with the great- est financial need. Beginning this fall, the Presidents Promise Scholar- ship will be awarded annu- ally to eight undergraduates foruptofour years aslongas theyareenrolledfulltimeand maintaina2.5gradepointav- erage. The number of recipi- entswillincreaseastheschol- arship endowment grows. In awarding the scholar- ship, priority will be given to students with the high- est need first. Eligibility requirements include stu- dents who are not eligible for a federal award, such as a Pell Grant or Work Study; students who are current or former foster youth; and students who are graduates of a California high school. Students from CSU, Chico's 12-county service area, first- generation and underrepre- sented college students and students living on campus will receive preference. "This scholarship will help our students who have the most urgent financial need," said Zingg. "Chico State wants to expand the opportunities for these de- serving and hard-work- ing students so they can achieve their dreams." Zingg said the scholar- ship endowment will be supported primarily with royalties from the Univer- sity's licensing of trade- marks and trade names, along with other campus funds and private support. The first-year award for the Presidents Prom- ise Scholarship will match the 2015 federal Pell Grant of $5,775. Subsequent year award amounts will be re- duced by 25 percent. Cur- rent as well as incoming CSU, Chico students are el- igible to receive the schol- arship.
