The Bulldog Pride Fund scholars represent a wide range of life experience and financial need. The scholarship selection process continues to attract top-ranked applicants. Candidates complete an extensive online application that includes academic, demographic and financial data, in addition to three short essays. Ad-hoc committees review applications to select scholars that have “demonstrated pride in their communities.”

Alisia Lopez ~ Bulldog Pride Fund Scholar ~ Fresno State. From a pool of 1,906 applications submitted, an ad hoc committee of Leticia Reyna Cano, Daniel Kimball and Ronald Avedesian selected Amanda Junge of Clovis, Calif., for a Bulldog Pride Fund Scholarship of $1,000. An incoming freshman studying music performance, Junge expects to graduate in 2012.

Alisia Lopez ~ Bulldog Pride Fund Scholar ~ Fresno State. From another pool of 47 applications submitted, a second ad hoc committee of Robin McGehee, Sara Martinez and Peter Robertson selected Alisia Lopez of Madera, Calif., for the Bulldog Pride Fund GSA Network Award of $1,000. A sophomore majoring in political science, Lopez expects to graduate in 2011, the same year that Fresno State celebrates its Centennial.

Jared Lindo ~ Bulldog Pride Fund Scholar ~ Fresno State. Additionally, Jared Lindo of Gustine, Calif., has been selected for his third scholarship of $1,000 from the Bulldog Pride Fund.
