Scholarship awards help local IWU Students

Marion Hispanic Roundtable awarded four scholarships last week, President Ray Vasquez said.

Three graduates of Marion High School and one Mississinewa High School graduate received scholarships. They are: Jillian Moreno, attending Indiana University, Ka-Lyn Perez, attending Indiana Wesleyan University, Gerardo Cruz, attending IPFW, and Josh Rodriguez, attending IWU.

Scholarship winners are required to attend a workshop on How to Succeed in College. The workshop was presented Thursday by Joe Lopez, admissions officer for Earlham College, Richmond.

Since 2004, Marion Hispanic Roundtable has awarded eight scholarships to college-bound high school graduates.
