Student selected for $1,000 scholarship The California Cooperative Education and Internship Assn. awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Glendale Community College student Shirley Mims.

Two Bernard L. Hyink Scholarships are awarded ? one recipient is selected from a four-year college or university and one from a two-year school, based on the students' essays.

The winners will be honored at a conference at UC Riverside on March 23.

Mims is a physical science major who worked in accounting jobs for several years.

She came to the college as an adult re-entry student taking accounting classes and personal-interest courses, but rediscovered her love of science after taking professor Rick Guglielmino's physics class.

She was selected to be part of the Student Independent Research Intern program at Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

The program gives outstanding students a chance to work with JPL researchers in an unpaid capacity for one semester.
