The School of Photography at Orange Coast College (Spencer’s Alma Mater) has decided to honor Spencer’s legacy by awarding a scholarship in his name. The “Spencer C Amonwatvorakul scholarship” will be awarded to one photography student at The School of Photography at OCC once a year. Spencer was significantly involved at school first as a student, then as a Lab aid, and finally as a mentor to students who were interested in pursuing a career in professional photography. Spencer was devoted to his craft, peers, and self-improvement. A scholarship in Spencer’s name will allow his profound influence on others to continue forever. In order for this scholarship to reach an “endowment” status, $15,000 must be raised. Once an endowment status is achieved, the Spencer C Amonwatvorakul scholarship will be a permanent scholarship. The School of Photography at OCC will match the collective contributions of $10,000.
