We Support the Ohlone College STEM Program

Ohlone College is one of the schools that the CIO Fund supports. Recently, the Ohlone College STEM Program piloted an embedded tutoring program.

The tutor program hires students that have completed a course to come back and assist students and faculty in the completed class. Students often learn better from their peers, as they are more comfortable and share a similar level of understanding. Data on student success rates and attrition rates were compared to the two years prior to the embedded tutoring program.

A Thank You to the Sponsors of the 5th Annual CIO Scholarship Fund Golf Event

The CIO Scholarship Fund would like to express our appreciation and thank you for your sponsorship to our 5th annual Golf event. Here are some pictures to the memorable event.

The fund has provided over $600,000 in student scholarships and tutoring programs, and we have helped over 300 students to date. It was only through the support from all of our sponsors and volunteers that we reached that tremendous accomplishment.

Through our fund, we are making direct impact to our students lives:
“This is a truly a milestone in my life, and I can never thank you enough.  I am tearing up now just thinking of how much ease you have put on my heart and soul…  I am forever thankful to you, and awe because of the kindness in your heart to grant me such an honorable award.  This scholarship is one of the biggest blessings in my life”  - a scholarship recipient

We are grateful and look forward to your continued support to help us grow the CIO Scholarship Fund. It is, and has always been, the efforts of Sponsors and Volunteers like you that have enabled the CIO Scholarship Fund to raise money for local college students pursuing a course of study in Technology.

Please give us your feedback. Which will help us improve the event in the future.

Thank you again,
CIO Scholarship Fund
