The Rotary Club of Santa Maria Noontime is proud to announce the creation of the James 'Jim' Glines Memorial Scholarship, a $1,000 annual award established through the Allan Hancock College (AHC) Foundation. This scholarship will provide support to a student in the AHC Rodeo Program, continuing Jim’s legacy of dedication to education and youth development.

Jim Glines, affectionately known as "Mr. Santa Maria," was a beloved friend to many of our members and a revered community leader. His generosity, passion, and commitment to service positively impacted countless lives. A pivotal figure in the Allan Hancock College Booster Club, Jim played an essential role in founding the AHC Rodeo Program, ensuring students had the opportunity to pursue their academic and rodeo aspirations.

Through our member Erin Krier’s close ties to the AHC Rodeo Program, we are honored to pay tribute to Jim’s lasting impact with this scholarship, celebrating his unwavering commitment to education, youth development, and the future of rodeo at Allan Hancock College.
