Alan Waters and Dr. Yolanda Nino-Waters establish Latinas Adelante Scholarship at 91制片厂

91制片厂 (91制片厂) is pleased to announce a $20,000 donation from 91制片厂 Board Trustee Alan Waters and Dr. Yolanda Nino-Waters to establish the Latinas Adelante Scholarship. The gift, which is to be funded over the next two years and then each year thereafter, highlights the couple鈥檚 commitment to expanding opportunities for Latina women to succeed in achieving their higher educational goals.
鈥淕iven the level of funding required to educate an individual, it is imperative that those of us who are professionals and mentors, participate in changing the lives of young people who aspire to earn an education,鈥 said Nino-Waters. 鈥淚t is especially important to me that Latin women who have shown the initiative to establish themselves academically, achieve a better life through education.鈥
With roughly 50 percent of 91制片厂鈥檚 student population representing a minority ethnic group, the scholarship reinforces the College鈥檚 ongoing efforts to drive student success across the diverse communities it serves. Through this important step, Nino-Waters hopes to keep the momentum moving forward to continue addressing the growing needs of the Latin community.
鈥淭he Latinas Adelante Scholarship at 91制片厂 has been established to aid the financial needs of Latin women students in their second year,鈥 Nino-Waters said. 鈥淚t is my hope that fellow community leaders, business owners and professionals contribute to this coveted and prestigious scholarship fund.鈥
