Jennifer and John Webley of Santa Rosa have given $50,000 to the new "Bridging the Doyle" scholarship campaign at Santa Rosa Junior College.
Blog readers will remember reading about the new campaign in coverage of the annual community luncheon (replete with quiz) and address given by SRJC president Robert Agrella in May.
The Webleys have committed $50,000 to the program that is meant to provide scholarships to students who have lost out on their chance for a Doyle Scholarship.
The Doyle Scholarship has awarded $76 million to nearly 120,000 students in six decades of scholarships funded by Exchange Bank stock dividends.
| But Exchange Bank has suspended its dividend payments this year and no new Doyle applications are being accepted. |
Agrella said last month that generating $1.2 million for the bridge fund is achievable.
John Webley founded Advanced Fibre Communications in Petaluma, as well as Turin Networks and now manages Pax Streamline, a clean tech startup in Novato.
