The Jason Choy Memorial Scholarship is being organized by Jason's friends at UC Berkeley. Some of us knew Jason as a roommate or through working in his lab. Others met him by striking up a conversation at a party. Some even knew Jason since his early childhood.

Regardless of how we knew Jason, our aim in establishing this scholarship is to extend and continue Jason’s positive effect on the world. We hope to pass on to others what Jason has given to us through his friendship.

If you would like to get in touch with the organizers directly, they can be reached at jcmscommittee@yahoo.com.

Of course, we couldn’t have done this all by ourselves. The organizers would like to acknowledge (and thank) the following for their help in making this scholarship possible:

• Troy Bradbury - Faculty Advisor, The Raider Review, ERHS Newspaper
• Rose Davis - Account Manager, Acteva
• David Dwiggins - ERHS Class of '94 website
• Carles Gonsman - Business Manager, Eleanor Roosevelt High School
• Barbara Leroux - Curriculum Coordinator, Eleanor Roosevelt High School
• Sharon Lewis - Guidance Dept. Chair, Eleanor Roosevelt High School
• Lolethia Lomax-Frazier - Guidance Dept. Chair, Eleanor Roosevelt High School
• Jane Scheiber - Asst. Dean, College Relations, College of Chemistry, UC Berkeley
• Marisha Wright - Guidance Dept., Eleanor Roosevelt High School
• Eriko Yamashita - Web design

The winner of the scholarship will be decided by a selection committee that includes Jason’s friends, roommates and colleagues. The names of this year's committee members are listed below. The committee certainly has room to grow. If you would like to be a part of the scholarship's future plans, please don't hesitate to contact us.
