Herman R. Tate Scholarship

Herman Tate was a private person, reluctant to become involved in industry or civic groups requiring public presentations. However, he was a firm supporter of organizations involved in such matters, supporting beneficial works of the Elks and the Shriners. He was a long-time member of the International Taxicab Association and a member of the Taxicab-Paratransit Association of California. Being childless, Mr. Tate directed the bulk of his estate be directed to philanthropic organizations. The Orange Coast College Foundation is one of the beneficiaries of his bequest. Income earned on the funds from the estate will greatly assist the Orange Coast College Scholarship Program in fulfilling its goals, among them being providing financial support for deserving students.
