On June 23, when the federal Pell Grant program turns 50, I’ll be celebrating what this program has meant to me and the approximately 80 million Americans who have been able to access post-secondary education opportunities through these grants.

“That was the biggest shock to me. To have the small-town feel of a tight-knit community in a city like Olympia is just absolutely amazing. Especially considering how much the community comes together to support SPSCC and its students.”

Alumna Crystal Maynor graduated from SPSCC’s Paralegal program in 2018. She now lives in Michigan and works as a paralegal at a medical malpractice law firm. From a young age, Crystal knew she wanted to be involved in the field of law.

South Puget Sound Community College (SPSCC) presented students Molly Echols, Yuho Fujii, and Jemal Ozkara with the 2022 Outstanding Student Award at the SPSCC Commencement Ceremony on June 10, 2022.

Molly, Yuho, and Jemal were nominated by college staff and faculty to recognize each student’s personal growth, academic achievement, and contributions to the college and community during their time at SPSCC. Each student was awarded a $500 scholarship from the SPSCC Foundation.

Our Foundation team is so proud to honor SPSCC's graduating class of 2022. This year's cohort has weathered COVID and navigated a myriad of challenges over the past two years to reach this achievement. At this year's Commencement ceremony we will honor the scholars who have received support from the SPSCC community though scholarships by giving each recipient an SPSCC Foundation Scholar commemorative pin in recognition of their tenacity, commitment, and resilience.
