243 EOPS Scholars Honored at Spring 2026 Luncheon

Publish Date: March 26, 2026

The Scholars Luncheon, held on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, was a celebratory event recognizing the outstanding academic achievements of our (EOPS, CARE, NextUp, CalWORKs and DREAMer) students. A total of 243 scholars were invited to attend, along with their family members and friends, creating a vibrant and supportive atmosphere to honor their success. 
 
Students were recognized based on their academic performance during the Fall 2025 semester, with eligibility requiring a minimum GPA of 3.0 or higher. This criterion ensured that the event highlighted students who demonstrated strong commitment, discipline, and excellence in their studies. 
 
Each honored scholar received a Certificate of Achievement along with an Academic Success Kit, which included a tumbler, a rechargeable portfolio, and a USB drive to support their continued academic journey. 
 
The Scholars Luncheon was first introduced in Spring 2025, and due to its success and impact, it is now planned as an annual spring semester event. 
 
Scholars were encouraged to celebrate this milestone with their loved ones, and notably, there was no limit on the number of guests they could invite, allowing for an inclusive and meaningful experience for all attendees.
