Community College students who want to transfer to a four-year college will get a budget boost of $2000 if they choose William Jessup University, the only private four-year university whose campus is in the Greater Sacramento area.  The university was founded in 1939 in San Jose and relocated its main campus to Rocklin in 2004.  It is situated on 128 acres and is located 20 miles northeast of Sacramento.

William Jessup is offering a $1000 per semester grant to any community college student coming directly to Jessup with 24 or more transferable credits.  The grant would be renewed each year that the student is enrolled as a full-time student in good academic standing.

If you are attending community college but are ready to move up to a four year school a good time to check out William Jessup University would be Transfer Day on Friday, April 24 from 10:00AM to 2:45PM.  To attend you must RSVP online for Transfer Day at jessup.edu or call Katrice Hernandez in the admissions office at 916-577-2200.

This is the beginning of “Open House Season” for Sacramento Fire Department.  They have set up a schedule so that everyone will have a chance to tour their local fire department and meet the fire fighters.  Bring the kids so they can see how the whole process works, meet the fire fighters and check out all those big red trucks. 

Station Number 5 held the first one last Saturday so you might have missed it, but the open houses are scheduled once a week at different fire stations through out the city until the end of September.  The next one is scheduled for this Saturday at Station Number 30, 1901 Club Center Dr, Sacramento, CA, from 2:00PM to 5:00PM.  To check the times and dates for rest of the scheduled open houses click on this link to Sacramento Fire Department Open Houses.
