“I was taking English as a second language class at the Community Learning Center, while working and taking care of my children. I had no car, so I had to walk my girls to school. Then I applied for financial aid, which I used for food and transportation. The scholarships I have received during my educational journey allowed me to access supplies and resources to succeed.”
Ezzaouia, a recent Osher Initiative for California Community College Students Endowment scholar, graduated in spring 2020 with an associate degree in accounting.
“I don’t know where I would be without the support of scholarships, EOPS, financial aid, and all the MiraCosta College counselors,” expressed Ezzaouia.
Ezzaouia’s scholarship success story is one of the more than 275 recipients, all of whom succeed through the financial support of scholarships.
