Judges to Begin
Reviewing Fabric
of Society Essays
Hundreds of California high schools seniors submitted essays in the fourth annual Fabric of Society scholarship competition before the March 1 deadline. De La Rosa & Co. reviewers will narrow the field to the top three finalists from each of 25 participating schools.
The eventual winners will be selected by a panel of guest judges, including Dan Schnur, Director of the Jesse Unruh Institute of Politics at USC (top photo), Assistant Chief Sandy Jo MacArthur, the highest-ranking woman in the LAPD, and veteran actor Tony Plana, best known to TV audiences as Ignacio, the widower father on Ugly Betty.
