Brett Southworth Memorial Scholarship

This scholarship has been established to honor Brett Southworth. Although he battled cancer throughout his life, Brett’s goal was to attend Orange Coast College to pursue a career as a chef. He attended Orange Coast for more than a year before his illness forced him to stop attending classes. Brett died at the age of 20 in March of 1997.

The friends and family of Brett, including many in the food service industry, provide funding for his scholarship. It is awarded to a deserving student in the Culinary Arts program to assist in pursuing their dream.
