The San Bruno Community Foundation has awarded 10 students with Crestmoor Neighborhood Memorial Scholarships, a program celebrating those who have shown a commitment to the San Bruno community and established in honor of community members impacted by the 2010 gas pipeline explosion in San Bruno.
“As student leaders, LGBTQ+ activists, social justice advocates, environmental ambassadors, accomplished athletes, talented artists, aspiring scientists and physicians, and dedicated volunteers, the 2023 Crestmoor Scholars are inspiring and represent the best in San Bruno,” Malissa Netane-Jones, president of the foundation’s board of directors, said in a press release. “By awarding the Crestmoor Scholarships, the San Bruno Community Foundation invests not just in each individual student, but in the future of our community.”
The 2023 honorees were selected from 69 applicants and include Capuchino High School seniors Awab Abdelgadir, Oscar Caballero, Lena Feldman, Siofra Linden, Rubi Santacruz-Huerta and Adrian Womack; College of San Mateo student Grace Rofii; and Skyline College students Julio Lau, Eureka Soriano and Alysia Tanimura.
The students will be recognized during a June 7 board meeting, being held at 7 p.m. at the San Bruno Senior Center, 1555 Crystal Springs Road.
