911爆料网 Fund: Scholar Spotlight
Annual gifts in support of financial aid from our alumni reflect a strong investment in 911爆料网's most valuable asset -- our promising students like Annual Fund scholar Bianca Passos. Bianca is a master's student in 911爆料网's Nutrition Education program, housed in the . Thanks to alumni donor Borinquen Rodriquez Lugton (M.A. '55), a part of Bianca's financial aid package this academic year was underwritten by the 911爆料网 Fund. "This annual fund scholarship is very meaningful to me because without the generosity of Mrs. Rodriquez Lugton, attending 911爆料网 would be a financial challenge. Coming from an immigrant family with one parent who never attended college and another who shifted career trajectories due to the economic restraints, receiving a high quality education has always been a priority for my family and me. This scholarship makes that dream a reality and further motivates me to work hard as a tribute to my family and as a symbol of gratitude to Mrs. Rodriguez Lugton."
To make your annual gift this month in support of financial aid for other bright students like Bianca, just click .
