A festive backyard ice cream social on a recent warm Sunday afternoon was the setting for the College Women’s Club (CWC) Spring Scholars Ceremony. The event honored 14 local young women who are the 2022 recipients of fellowships and scholarships awarded by CWC in partnership with Pasadena Community Foundation. The scholarships ensure continued assistance to students pursuing their educational goals at nearby institutions that include Caltech, ArtCenter for Design, Glendale Community College, East Los Angeles Community College, and Cal State LA School of Nursing.

More than 70 CWC members and guests celebrated the academic achievements of these remarkable young women, joined by dignitaries that included Cal State Los Angeles professors Dr. Renee R. Johnson and Patricia A. Chin from the School of Nursing; Aida Avannousian, Student Services Manager, Glendale Community College; and PCF’s own Program Manager, Allie Carreon.

A Lasting Legacy of Support

College Women’s Club of Pasadena Scholarship Foundation has awarded over $1.2 million to more than 600 young women in the greater Pasadena area throughout the Club’s 101-year-history. In 2016, CWC endowed the scholarship foundation with PCF, which created the CWC Scholarship Foundation Endowment. PCF manages the endowment, while Club members raise funds and select scholarship recipients. This partnership ensures the perpetuity of the Club’s outreach and mission.
