LGBTQ Scholarship, part of The Osher Initiative for California Community College Students

The purpose of this scholarship is to recognize a student involved in the LGBTQ community. This scholarship was established by distinguished attorney and Mt. SAC Alumnus James “Jimmy” Nguyen, J.D. Mr. Nguyen has enjoyed a meteoric career since graduating from UCLA at age 19, while attending Mt. SAC concurrently, and from the USC Law Center as the youngest member of his class at age 22. For the past 15 years, he has returned to Mt. SAC to help coach and prepare Forensics Team members for speech tournaments. In 2010, Mr. Nguyen was bestowed the honor of Mt. SAC Alumnus of the Year.
