ESF Pilot Campus Program

ESF PRE-COLLEGE SUMMER PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION >> Apply here before November 14. Hear from the students who participated in the pilot program: My law course was both exciting and informative, but the thing I loved most at camp was spending time with friends I made there. Some were from San Diego, some Ohio, and one was from Taiwan, but all of the people I met were kind, smart individuals that I clicked with instantly. It was also very refreshing to meet likeminded kids that care about school and academics, which, as much as I love Bishop, is a hard thing to find here. It was the experience of a lifetime and I will forever be grateful for your support.

Third Time is a Charm

Miguel Gomez is the Eastern Sierra Foundation’s latest choice to receive a $10,000 transfer scholarship. Miguel’s story is an improbable one. He is now 28 years old. He quit college on two different occasions before he finally stuck on his third try. Some courses, like English 101, "I probably retook four times," he said with a rueful grin. In retaking classes, he was able to wipe the past failures from his record and bump his grade-point average from a 1.2 to a 3.6. That, you math whizzes out there, is improvement by a factor of three!
