In 2003, two annual $1000 scholarships in the name of Mark David Jones were created for San Francisco State University students majoring in Broadcasting & Electronic Communication Arts (BECA). Mark was a BECA major at SFSU in the late 1980s.
The 2003 Mark David Jones Scholarships were awarded to:
+ Jason Howell
+ Ricky Salinas
2003 scholarship winners Ricky Salinas (with hat) and Jason Howell (tall!) are flanked by, from the left, Meghan Vincent-Jones, Ron Jones, Annemarie Jones and Jack Chapman (respectively, Mark's sister, father, mother and step-father).
The scholarships were presented on November 13, 2003 at a Bay Area STAR awards luncheon in San Francisco. It was a wonderful event, and our thanks go to STAR and everybody who participated.
