The San Juan Alumni Association Scholarship Program
We are very proud and excited to have two recent San Juan graduates, Aime Millan, class of 2013 and Jocelyn Millan, class of 2014, join the SJAA team. Yes, they are sisters. And they have taken on the SJAA Scholarship Program. So far, they have evaluated scholarship applications from many San Juan seniors. They are now in the process of selecting which applicants will receive a scholarship. Here is a little bit about Aime and Jocelyn.
Aime Millan
“I received an SJAA scholarship the year that I graduated from San Juan, so I am honored to now serve as the Scholarship Co-Chair. I have a passion for International Relations and Spanish, which I studied at UC Davis, earning a bachelor’s degree. I then returned to San Juan to work as a College-Career Technician and Spanish substitute teacher. I now teach in the Washington Unified School District.”
Jocelyn Millan
“After graduating from San Juan, I studied Psychology and Spanish at UC Davis, and earned a bachelor’s degree. Like my sister, I returned to San Juan as a College-Career Technician, while also working on a master’s degree in school counseling. I am now privileged to serve as a high school counselor for the San Juan Unified School District. With my Co-Chair, Aime, I look forward to supporting the next generation of San Juan scholars.”
