St. Vincent’s Women Will Get a Shot at Higher Education
Kelsey-Jenney Scholarship Program Puts St. Vincent’s Women on the Right "PATH"

   SAN DIEGO — Five St. Vincent de Paul Village women will be one step closer to self-sufficiency with the help of scholarships awarded by Kelsey-Jenney College at a 9 a.m. breakfast banquet, being held Thursday, June 19, 2001 at the Horton Grand Hotel, 311 Island Avenue.

   A $10,000 educational endowment, known as the PATH (Providing Advancement, Training and Hope) scholarship, will be awarded to each of the women, who have made exemplary efforts to reach the benchmarks set forth in the Village’s case-managed rehabilitation curriculum.

   Village residents Michelle Brandon, Norma Sloan, Ann Oldenburg, Blanca Felix and Martha Scott have earned the opportunity to study in any degree field available at the college, which offers associate of science degrees and diploma-level training in the business, medical, computer and legal fields.

   Kelsey-Jenney has offered the scholarships for the past five years, during which time 18 have been awarded. Village alumni who have benefited from the scholarship program will also be on hand to celebrate the morning’s festivities.

   The school is dedicated to working closely with employers to continually update curricula and expand its class selection and other academic programs. Graduates of the college are eligible for lifetime job-placement assistance through the school.
