77th scholarship from the “Spanish American Club, Inc.”

By Herman Santa

The Spanish American Club, Inc. is proud to recognize one outstanding student selected to receive one of the four club’s 2026 scholarship awards.  The recipient is Lindsay Tercero of St. Lucie County.  Lindsay was awarded $1,000. She was born in Estelí, Nicaragua, and both of her parents are also from Nicaragua, and her family has lived here for over 25 years. She graduated from Fort Pierce Central High School, and her goal is to complete an Associate of Arts degree this fall and then transfer to Florida Atlantic University to study Management Information Systems.  In the long term, she hopes to pursue a career in law, potentially immigration law, and eventually open her own law firm to help families access more affordable legal services.

This year scholarship committee Chair by Nancy Rozon and Co-chair by Evelyn Carrillo along with the board of directors Carlos Bonet, President; Nancy Rozon, Vice President; Evelyn Carrillo, Secretary; Josephine Guadalupe, Treasurer; Vivian Megaro, Public Relations and Mary Figliola, Director did a magnificent job selecting the students and running the program smoothly. The committee selected the students for their achievements, trustworthiness, character, responsibility, fairness, and academics.

The scholarship was established in 1992 for low-income students. Over the past 33 years, the club has awarded more than $55,000 in scholarships to 80 High School seniors of Martin and St. Lucie counties. The board raises money for the scholarships by having garage sales, 50/50 raffles at the monthly dance parties and committee events.  The board also organizes other events such as picnics, cruises, and garage sales.

The mission of the club is to promote friendship and solidarity among its members, neighbors, and other nonprofit organizations of the Treasure Coast through cultural, social, civic, charity and sports activities to promote knowledge of the Spanish speaking countries, their geography, history, art and folklore.
