Drs. Don Ajene and Jacqueline Wilcoxson Legacy Scholarship

Drs. Don Ajené, a distinguished Professor Emeritus, and Jacqueline Wilcoxson are proud alums of Riverside Community College.

They expressed a strong belief that business education, in particular, is both practical and powerful, as it equips students with the tools to shape communities, create opportunities, and build meaningful lives It is their hope that recipients of this scholarship will carry forward the same belief that has guided them: when you invest in your education, you invest in your future and the possibility of a more just, creative, and compassionate world (see attached bio for more in-depth background).
