friends and families after receiving the Frederick C. Branch Scholarship from
Sgt. Sean Powers (left), recruiter, Marine Recruiting Station Sacramento, and
Staff Sgt. William Hafel, IV (right), during a presentation here, May 15,
2015. Gomez plans to attend Hampton University, a historically black
university in Hampton, Va. The Frederick C. Branch Scholarship is named after
the first African American officer in the Marine Corps. It provides up to
$180,000 for college tuition and assistance. Gomez was selected to receive
the prestigious Frederick C. Branch Scholarship after competing against other
candidates throughout the central valley region. An avid volunteer, Gomez
clocked over 200 volunteer hours through the Davis Food Co-op and the Davis
Children's Nutcracker as a group leader. His path has been challenging, as his
older brother, James, suddenly passed away in 2013 at the age of 20 years old.
Gomez said his brother's death had a profound impact on him, but he persevered
to succeed and achieve a 3.84 GPA. (photo by Staff Sgt. Jacob H. Harrer /
