2012 Mark Tiner Education Foundation Scholarship Recipient Earlier this month, I presented the 2012 Mark Tiner Education Foundation Scholarship to a graduating high school senior from Capistrano Valley High School in Mission Viejo, CA. The student received a $1,000.00 scholarship and will pursue his collegiate studies in Los Angeles, CA or New York, NY. This year, we received 60 scholarship applicants from high schools across Orange County, CA. It was the most ever! The recipient was selected with support from the Orange County Community Foundation and The Mark Tiner Education Foundation Scholarship Board. The scholarship funds are made available by donations from the community. It is rewarding to continue my brother's memory through the foundation and impact the lives of students as they pursue higher education.  To learn more about The Mark Tiner Education Foundation Scholarship, click here .

Tiner Education Foundation Scholarship Selection Committee is preparing to meet in the next couple of days, I thought it is an appropriate time to thank everyone for believing in me during the fall of my senior year at Brown.
