Roger E. Rickson Memorial Endowed Osher Scholarship

Roger Rickson, long-time RCC instrumental music professor, and conductor of the Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble, and Riverside Winds, originally established a scholarship trust fund to assist deserving students in honor of his mother, Naomi Rickson. At the time of Roger’s passing in the summer of 2003, additional funds were added and the scholarship was renamed in Roger’s name and eventually endowed. The Roger Rickson Memorial Endowed Osher Scholarship is awarded to a continuing Riverside City College music student who has completed at least 24 units at Riverside City College, who demonstrates financial need, and who has taken music courses for transfer to a four year institution.
