A’shanta Carroll and Zaira Garcia are the scholarship
recipients.
Travis Community Education Foundation
representative Kalí P. Rourke will present their scholarship
certificates. Upon successful completion of high school and admission to
an institution of higher learning, the students will actually receive
the scholarship funds to apply to their tuition.
The intent of the scholarship is to encourage students to think about
post-secondary education and to have a sense of hope that there will be
resources available for them should they excel in school, graduate on
time, and choose to continue their education at a two-year or four-year
institution.
To be eligible, the students had to complete an application, write an
essay or letter pertaining to their mentoring experience, and secure a
letter of recommendation from their mentor.
