The Mary Stuart Rogers Scholarship Fund was established to provide financial assistance to undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at Cal State San Bernardino’s Palm Desert Campus.

The recipients, called “Rogers Scholars,” must demonstrate a sincere commitment to their own personal growth, compile outstanding academic records, demonstrate leadership qualities and show a desire to serve their fellow students and communities. The scholarship is merit-based and only awarded to the top students at the campus.

This year’s scholars will be honored at a special reception on Oct. 1 where they will meet John Rogers, the son of Mary Stuart Rogers, and his family. They will join a distinguished group of past recipients who have gone on to make significant contributions in various fields, reinforcing the impact the Rogers Scholarship program has on the educational and professional trajectories of its recipients.

Since its establishment, the Rogers Scholarship program has awarded close to $2 million to students at the CSUSB Palm Desert Campus.
