Last month, we announced the recipients of the fifth annual NCLR-Best Buy Emerging Latino Leaders Scholarship Program. The scholarship program awarded $25,000 to four students who were selected based on their academic achievements, leadership, and involvement in the Latino community. The scholarship is promoted by the NCLR Líderes Initiative, a national youth leadership program designed to help young Latinos increase their impact in their communities.
However, we haven’t introduced you to the winners yet. We will highlight one winner each day here on our blog. Each scholarship recipient has just graduated high school and now eagerly awaits the arrival of fall to embark on a new chapter in their lives. These students are promising Latino leaders in their communities, and the scholarships will aid their pursuits of becoming national leaders working on behalf of the Latino community.
Be sure to come back tomorrow to learn about the first award winner!
