Our team was thrilled to host our scholarship dinner in May. Our members gathered at Andale Restaurant to present the "Magdalena Chavez Scholarship" to high school senior Fernanda Loya. We are grateful to our member Aurora Anaya-Dyer and her entire family for making this scholarship possible. Aurora and her siblings gathered together to sponsor a scholarship in memory of their mother who inspired them all to pursue their own educational goals. Our team also honored our top Latinas in Progress participants who completed the entire program by committing the semester to joining us for monthly college prep workshops. Our entire HWNT team is dedicated to continuing this tradition to build our scholarship campaign to support the educational dreams of more local young women.
