The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation announced the semifinalists for its prestigious Cooke Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship.  Through this community college transfer scholarship, the Foundation supports high-achieving community college students as they transfer to some of the top four-year institutions in the country to complete their bachelor’s degrees. This year’s semifinalists were chosen from a pool of nearly 1,500 applicants attending 369 schools in 45 states and the District of Columbia.

I am pleased to recognize Warren Pearson, a former CR student, for his selection as one of the semifinalists. Warren received President’s Honors six out of the seven semesters he attended CR with a cumulative GPA of 3.985.  Warren earned an AA Liberal Arts: Humanities & Communications in May 2017 and an AA Liberal Arts: Science Exploration in May 2018. Congratulations to Warren.
