Each student received a $2,000 college scholarship funded by a gift from ExxonMobil.

All of the 40 recognized students are graduating from high school after earning credits through our Migrant Student Program,” said Gisela Greco-Llamas, Director of the K-16 Education Center. “Each year, this event gives us the opportunity to give our students first-hand experience of college life and encourage them to continue their education beyond high school. As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of this program, it is gratifying to learn about past exemplary students who have achieved the careers they dreamed about when they were high school students.”.
