*Gift Announcement - NCRF makes $2 million pledge to support SDSU Aerospace*



On behalf of the Aerospace Department, we are pleased to announce that the
National College Resources Foundation under the direction of Dr. Theresa
Price  has made a $2 million pledge to support SDSU’s Aerospace program.



Funding will create the Center for Aerospace Research and provide
significant support for the Rocket Project.



Dr. Theresa Price founded  the NCRF, based in Diamond Bar, CA to enhance
education, curtail the high school dropout rate and increase degree and/or
certificate enrollment among underserved and underrepresented students.
The NCRF has helped over 500,000 students get into college, has helped
students secure over $500 million in scholarships and grants and has
increased  graduation rates by 20% in schools served by the NCRF.



If you happen to see Dr. Theresa Price at a national meeting, an industry
event, campus happening or etc., please feel free to express your
appreciation for the NCRF’s support of SDSU Aerospace.



***A special note of appreciation to Kim Dufour who championed this gift to
fruition.*
