(2009 The Mark P. Tiner Education Foundation Scholarship Presentation) I'm honored that earlier in the week, I awarded The 2009 Mark P. Tiner Education Foundation Financial Needs Scholarship to a graduating high school senior from La Quinta High School (Westminster, CA). This year, we received over 70 applications for the $1,000 scholarship. The recipient was selected for her dedicated volunteer work, exceptional academic excellence, and strong desire to pursue her college studies. She will be the first generation to attend college from her family. In addition to the $1,000 scholarship, I awarded the recipient an original photograph of mine. To learn more about this year's scholarship recipient and my artwork, please read a recent Coastline Pilot article about The Mark P. Tiner Education Foundation . Thank you again for your support.

Tiner Education Foundation Board met a few days ago and selected TWO recipients for The 2008 Tiner OC Financial Needs Scholarship. The first award will be for $1,000 and the second (thanks to recent contributions) will be announced shortly. The financial needs scholarship is to assist a diligent graduating high school senior from Orange County, CA pursue higher education. Last year the foundation awarded a $750 scholarship to a female graduating senior from Aliso Niguel High School. The awards are given off endowed funds, so they will hopefully last in perpetuity. Although I still miss my brother , I'm honored that his memory continues through the lives of the scholarship recipients. Each year it has been difficult to read through the applications and select a recipient. The immediate memories of my brot...

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. What started as an opportunity for friends and family to contribute to my brother's memorial fund ( by donating $1 for every mile that I ran ) has developed into a lasting entity that is helping out deserving students. It is rewarding to help our youth pursue higher education and continue my brothe...
