Cornell Club of San Diego

CCSD Scholarships

The Cornell Club of San Diego is proud to offer two local scholarships to Cornell students from the San Diego area. The availability of these scholarships is due to the interest and generosity of individual alumni donors.

Please contact out Scholarship Officer, Stuart Lourie '69 for more information. NOTE! We support making donations online now through eventbrite.com!

Willie James Jones, Jr. Memorial Scholarship

The scholarship is named in the memory of Lincoln High School valedictorian and outstanding citizen Willie Jones, Jr. Willie was expected to graduate with Cornell's Class of 1998, but was tragically killed only days before he was to matriculate at Cornell. Willie was an extraordinary individual. He thrived both academically and athletically and was viewed as a role model by peers and leaders in the San Diego community.

The Cornell Club awards this scholarship to a Cornell freshman from San Diego who demonstrates financial need and excellent academic and leadership potential. The scholarship amount and frequency is entirely dependent upon the amount of funds raised by the Club each year, so your donation is vitally important to the success of this scholarship.
