Nine CSUMB students are honored with scholarships by the Fort Ord Alumni Association (FOAA) at its annual awards ceremony in October.

Christina Biondini, Jennifer Calmus, Aide Casimiro, Laura Dang, Fern Hector-Batson, Jessica Jenks, Amanda Orton, and Juanita Perea each receive $1,000. Julio Cardona receives the $1,500 General E.O.C. Ord scholarship, endowed by the Ord family, to be used toward his fees and books. Since 1997, FOAA has presented 39 scholarships, including the nine given this year.

The students are selected based on their strong academic record, proven commitment to community service, and demonstrated leadership skills. Several of the recipients also have family members who served in the U.S. Army and were stationed at Fort Ord.
