An annual scholarship offered to CI students:
CSU Trustees' Award for Outstanding Achievement
The CSU Trustees’ Award for Outstanding Achievement recognizes students who epitomize superior academic performance, exemplary community service and significant personal achievements. These students also overcome tremendous personal hardships and demonstrate financial need. The base scholarship is $6,000 with opportunities to receive enhanced awards.
The William Randolph Hearst Foundation initiated the program in 1984 with an endowment that supports six scholars. Individual contributions from members of the CSU Board of Trustees and CSU Foundation Board of Governors, in addition to other supporters, sustain 23 awards. Campus presidents nominate one recipient per campus.
The Trustee Emeritus Ali C. Razi Scholar best demonstrates the principles of this award program and receives $12,000. The student who has given the most service to his or her home, university or global community is named the Trustee Emeritus Murray L. Galinson Scholar and receives $8,000.
