The Les and Esther Riffel Annual Scholarship

This scholarship was established in 2014 by Fresno Pacific alums Les and Esther Riffel. Fresno Pacific has been part of their family and extended family for decades, and the school their daughter chose as well. The Riffels continue to see Fresno Pacific as a valuable part of a person's education, particularly because of its Christian atmosphere. This scholarship reflects their generosity and joy in encouraging a new generation of students at FPU.
