California State Uni- versity, Chico Regional & Continuing Education invites reentry students to apply for $60,000 in scholarships from the Ber- nard Osher Foundation. Scholarships are awarded to reentry stu- dents whose studies were interrupted for at least five years by circum- stances beyond their con- trol, and who now want to resume their undergradu- ate studies at CSU, Chico. The deadline for scholar- ship applications is Mon- day, Feb. 29, at 5 p.m. Scholarship details and an online application are available at rce.csuchico. edu/osherscholarship. This is the 10th consec- utive year that the Osher Foundation has supported this scholarship program at CSU, Chico. For the 2015-2016 academic year, 22 students were awarded a Bernard Osher Founda- tion Reentry Scholarship. In the last nine years, CSU, Chico Continuing Education has admin- istered and distributed $470,898 in Bernard Os- her Foundation Reentry Scholarships to 90 CSU, Chico students. In July 2010, the Bernard Osher Foundation awarded CSU, Chico Continuing Educa- tion a $1 million scholar- ship endowment to sup- port reentry students. "Last year, seven stu- dents supported by Os- her Foundation Reen- try Scholarships gradu- ated and more than 60 have graduated since we started administer- ing the scholarship," said Debra Barger, dean of Re- gional & Continuing Edu- cation. "Over the past two years, through the gener- ous support of the Ber- nard Osher Foundation, we have been able to in- crease the total available funds by $10,000 each year with the aim of sup- porting more students. Help us spread the word; if you know a student who may be eligible, please ex- tend this invitation." The Bernard Osher Foundation, headquar- tered in San Francisco, was founded in 1977 by Bernard Osher, a re- spected businessman and community leader. The foundation seeks to im- prove the quality of life through the support of post-secondary scholar- ships, lifelong learning institutes, select integra- tive medicine programs, and arts and educational organizations.

CHICOSTATE Reentry students urged to apply for scholarships Metteer SERRF joined other SERRF programs in participating in the Great Kindness Challenge the last week of January. The Great a Kindness Challenge is a movement that puts the emphasis on completing kind deeds. The children enjoyed all of the activities that went on throughout the week. They were challenged to do 50 acts of kindness throughout the week. Some of the activities included making bou- quets of hearts for the student's school teachers and presenting them in journals as gifts. The stu- dents also made kindness hands for a Kindness Tree and they are still adding to the tree. They also had a door art contest. They all did a wonder- ful job on their Doors of Kindness. The children enjoyed and were actively engaged in all of the kind- ness activities.
