Established by Kristine Mayor, an alumna of the Moorpark College Nursing program, the "Non Nocere" Scholarship supports students currently enrolled in the Nursing program at Moorpark College who are continuing their studies.

The term "Non Nocere" is derived from the Latin phrase "primum non nocere," which means "first, do no harm." It is a foundational principle in medical ethics, emphasizing the importance of avoiding harm to patients while providing care.

This scholarship aims to honor this principle by supporting future nurses committed to compassionate and ethical care.

The Pielaet-Morad Award honors the legacies of David Pielaet and Feras Morad, two exemplary students from the Moorpark College Forensics Team, who both achieved remarkable success and demonstrated unwavering commitment to their communities. Although their time on the team was separated by decades, their shared dedication and excellence led them to multiple national championships. Tragically, both men's lives ended too soon—David in a car accident and Feras as a victim of violence.

This award is presented annually to a top student who has completed their competitive career on the team and embodies the values that David and Feras represented: excellence, community involvement, and resilience. Through this recognition, their memories continue to inspire future generations of forensics students.
