Stephannie West Memorial Scholarship

Stephannie’s goal was to become a Dental Hygienist and she was enrolled in Dental Assisting classes at Orange Coast College when she was suddenly taken ill. She passed away at the age of thirty-six. Knowing the importance of a good education and how difficult it is for a single mother to attain her educational goal, Stephannie’s desire was to establish a scholarship to help single mothers. Although she had no children of her own, she had a special compassion for these women who are struggling to support a family.

In Stephannie’s memory, this scholarship will be awarded each year to a single mother in the Orange Coast College Dental Assisting Program.
