Thank you to all who sponsored and attended CHISPA’s Annual Dinner in February! The evening celebrated our accomplishments of the past year and highlighted students who received scholarships in 2024. Each year proceeds from this event fund scholarships for students in our properties who attend Hartnell College and CSUMB. A third scholarship, managed by the Community Foundation of Monterey County, is for CHISPA residents attending any two or four-year accredited institution. Since 2005, CHISPA has awarded 135 scholarships totaling over $114,000.
In 2024, twelve students — five at Hartnell College, five at California State University Monterey Bay, and two via the Community Foundation of Monterey County — were awarded a total of $10,968. Thanks to this year’s dinner, we added $5,000 each to the Hartnell, CSUMB and the Community Foundation Scholarships. Event proceeds also funded community services in CHISPA’s apartment buildings.
