Hall of Fame Each spring faculty, administrators, and students nominate sophomore students to the Hall of Fame based on their scholarship, leadership, and participation in Registered Student Organizations. A committee of students, administrators and faculty elect students from the list of nominees to join a select and distinguished group whose pictures are placed in the E.L. Harvin Center. The student services fee funds this program.
Honorary Scholarships State of Texas Nursing Scholarship: Applications and information may be obtained at the Office of Registered Nurse Education at Del Mar College, and at the Financial Aid Office in May.

To be considered, a student must complete an application, submit a current academic transcript, and have a Student Aid Report on file in the Financial Aid Office.
