More grads: fun summers and $4,000 later

Dozens of Seaside High graduates received a $4,000 scholarship as part of the Imagine College program, which gives them fun classes in the summer and the promise of the scholarship if they graduate with at least a 2.5 average and get accepted into a four-year university.

This week, they were recognized during their commencement ceremonies and at different special events. They're the first graduating class of "Imagine College."

"Imagine College" welcomes students from throughout the MPUSD district to take summer classes at CSUMB -- but only those from Seaside are eligible for the scholarship. At CSUMB, they take fun classes in the film and computer science departments, and they also take classes in algebra 2, geometry and math analysis. That sounds fun too, doesn't it.

The summer session for "Imagine College" begins Monday and goes on for six weeks.
