ROSE FOUNDATION ESTABLISHES SCHOLARSHIPS FOR UCSD UNDERGRADUATES

The University of California, San Diego, today announced that The Rose Foundation, formed by Pamela and Martin Wygod, of Rancho Santa Fe, has established new scholarship programs for UCSD undergraduates.

The Dr. A.R. Moossa Scholarship, named in honor of the chair of the UCSD Surgery Department, will award four-year scholarships to pre-medical students. A second scholarship, The Rose Foundation Scholarship, provides four-year funds for an undergraduate student from San Diego or Imperial County high schools. Students receiving scholarship funds will show evidence of financial need, will attend UCSD full-time, and will be in good academic standing.

"We feel very strongly about the importance of education," said Pamela Wygod. "We know and trust that each student who receives one of these scholarships will have a decidedly better chance in life and will make a positive difference in our community."
