Verizon Wireless Scholarships Funds Hispanic Students
About Jobs and Business Careers - Verizon Wireless Funds Scholarships to 20 Southern California Hispanic Students - The company awards $50,000 in scholarships, raising its contribution to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund to $600,000 since 2003.
Local Hispanic students were honored recently for their academic excellence at a luncheon hosted by Verizon Wireless and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF). Each scholar was awarded $2,500 through the company's support of HSF. Verizon Wireless has pledged additional support for the scholarship cycle that is currently open.
Each of the students has a personal story of the pursuit of individual excellence. For example, Javier Mendez from San Diego, freshman at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, is majoring in computer engineering and furthering a personal and family dream. The son of migrant farm workers who endured hardships and were unable to finish their primary education, Javier said, "I knew I did not want to throw away what my parents had endured. Instead I wanted to prove to them that, by graduating from college, every challenge they faced and valiantly fought for me was worth it."
