The Bob Grundstrom Memorial Scholarship

Bob Grundstrom was a dedicated, respected, and loved teacher of students with disabilities in the Vista Unified School District for 18 years.

Bob was well known for his work with students with significant disabilities at the middle school, high school and college aged levels and he developed the NCCSE regional classes at Sierra Vista High School, Palomar College, Mira Costa College, and Roosevelt Middle School.  His gentle and caring way with everyone led both staff and parents to respect him and work together for the good of the students.

Through his love and concern for his students, Bob helped them to see and then realize their gifts to their fullest potential. In life as well as in his career, Bob was a strong supporter of higher education. Through his example and encouragement, he always led others to further their learning.

The NCCSE Challenge Scholarship has been renamed in Bob’s honor and we look forward to having many students receive benefit from post-high school training and/or education.
