About the Award
The William Randolph Hearst/CSU Trustees' Award for Outstanding Achievement is given each year to those students who demonstrate superior academic performance, personal accomplishments, community service, and financial need. Each of these outstanding students receives a $3,000 scholarship.
Trustee Scholars
Four of the recipients receive an additional scholarship endowed by CSU Trustee Emeriti, Dr. Ali C. Razi and Dr. Murray L. Galinson.
The Trustee Ali C. Razi Scholars
In April 2006, Dr. Ali C. Razi, Trustee Emeritus of the CSU Board of Trustees, endowed a scholarship fund to recognize the top scoring recipient of the Hearst / CSU Trustees' Award. The California State University Foundation Board of Governors honored his commitment to students by naming this outstanding individual as the Trustee Ali C. Razi Scholar.
In 2009, two exceptionally talented and dedicated students — Araciel Juarez and Phi Nguyen — received the $10,000 Razi scholarship, which is distributed due to the personal generosity of Dr. Razi.
The Trustee Murray L. Galinson Scholars
In May 2007, Dr. Murray L. Galinson, Trustee Emeritus of the CSU Board of Trustees and Chair of the Board from 2004 to 2006, endowed a scholarship fund to recognize a Hearst / CSU Trustees' Award recipient who best exemplifies extraordinary public service to his or her home or university community. The California State University Foundation honored his commitment to students by naming the honored individual as the Trustee Murray L. Galinson Scholar.
This year two exceptionally dedicated students — Suzanne P. Pullen and Daniel L. Cole — received the $6,000 Galinson scholarship.
