9th scholarship from the “Spanish American Club, Inc.”

By Herman Santa

One of the goals of the Scholarship Committee of the Spanish American Club, Inc. is education. Consequently, the Spanish American Club, Inc. Scholarship Fund was created with the purpose of raising funds to award a scholarship each year to a Hispanic student from Martin or St. Lucie counties.

The scholarship fund is managed by the club’s Board of Directors. The committee is comprised of Herman Santa, Isa Bryson, Gladys Vélez, and Ana Swift. This year, two applications were received from Lincoln Park Academy High School in Ft. Pierce. Students Jillian Marie Cepeda and Roberto Cabrera were interviewed by the committee on Sunday, June 2nd. The winner was Roberto Cabrera from the city of Ft. Pierce. Roberto will receive the amount of $500 to help cover admission expenses to the University of Miami.

I want to thank Puerto Rican sculptor Eric Piñeiro for his generous donation, which helped raise the funds for next year’s scholarship. I also want to thank the scholarship committee, the Board of Directors, and the partners who supported us and helped sell tickets for the palm raffle.
