George Rather Jones Memorial Scholarship

The George Rather Jones Memorial Scholarship was established for students studying the health professions at El Centro or Brookhaven College. George Rather Jones and his wife, Eleanor Fordham Jones, are long time supporters of DCCCD Foundation scholarship programs. In the mid 1970's, they established the Alice Jones Berding Scholarship in Music and the Cecil Wallace Fordham Scholarship in Visual Arts. Upon the death of Mr. Jones in the early 1980's, Mrs. Jones and the Jones family established the George Rather Jones memorial Scholarship.
