Our goal

We are starting this fund to create a scholarship in honor of John Acuña, a teacher and counselor in Santa Ana California for over 50 years. He was an inspiration, mentor, and advocate for generations of student from his community. A veteran of the U.S.Army, he established the veterans center at Santa Ana College, to provide guidance to those from the armed forces seeking to pursue goals of higher education. So in honor of him, this fund will award scholarships to those veterans needing assistance with their education.

John was one of the most amazing educators and he had a great impact on my career. At the start of my time at SAC he welcomed me into Freshman Experience leadership and I learned so much from him. His incredible talents and efforts ripple through the community. I always loved when he said his goal was “A bachelors degree for every house on Raitt St.”
