Additionally, for the third consecutive year the SDCCD has had a student named as a New Century Scholar, a designation given to the student receiving the highest application score in the state. This year Issanna Loughman of City College has the honor. She will receive a $2,000 scholarship and represent California at the annual Presidents Breakfast at the American Association of Community Colleges Convention.
