SF State’s College of Extended Learning has received a $1 million gift from Youth for Service, a San Francisco-based nonprofit organization that offered youth job training, vocational education and community resources for more than four decades. The gift will create a scholarship endowment and computer laboratory at the new Downtown Campus. “This generous gift furthers Youth for Service’s longtime commitment to provide alternative educational pathways for disadvantaged youth to achieve success,” said Gail Whitaker, dean of the College of Extended Learning. “In addition, the gift allows San Francisco State to continue our efforts toward developing the University’s state-of-the-art Institute for Next Generation Internet, which uses emerging computer technology to improve education, employment opportunities and economic development in the Bay Area.” Scholarships will be awarded to students working toward certificates in digital media and music/recording industry in the College of Extended Learning. Each scholarship will be up to $2,000 per semester.
