Scholarship recipient Adrian Vazquez, 17, a student at Harlandale High School, wants to study film in college.An anonymous donor who died in 2019 left enough money for the San Antonio Area Foundation to launch a college scholarship program this year that will generate $2 million annually for San Antonio and Laredo area high school students.
“Our team wanted to award it to juniors with a specific purpose of students going into their senior year knowing that they have $10,000 for each of the four years of college already covered,” said Hernan Rozemberg, the foundation’s director of communications. This sentiment was echoed by scholarship recipient Giselle Alcoser, 17, a senior at Young Women’s Leadership Academy in the San Antonio Independent School District. She hopes to study biomedical engineering at either the University of Texas at Austin or Texas A&M University, so she can help develop cheaper and more accessible medicines.
“I know how hard we’ve worked the past few years,” Castillo told them. “This scholarship shows we are determined, ambitious and resilient. We are here despite all the obstacles we have faced.”
