Pelletier loved working with students here at CSUSB and when she died from cancer, her legacy continued through this scholarship that intends to reward students’ motivation and achievement who have been on academic probation. One of the requirements needed to qualify is to have earned a minimum of a 3.2 grade point average for a spe- cifi c quarter. “My daughter, who was in third grade at that time, was going through some medical problems and I knew I had to help her, so she wouldn’t get behind in her class. That is when I started getting behind,” said Jacobo. It was while she was trying to help her daughter with her education she realized that she too needed help. Elena Jacobo was the another student awarded the Pelletier Scholarship. “As adults we sometimes forget to ask for help.
