I graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Economics in May 2013. The National Hispanic Business Group Scholarship has been much more than I could have possibly expected from any scholarship program. NHBG has taken me in and made me feel at home providing a space in which I can feel proud of my accomplishments in the company of a group of incredibly supportive people who looked like me. The group has given me the strength that I needed in many times of hardship as well as the financial support that my family needed throughout the past 4 years for my education. I do not think I would be as strong a person as I am today if I could not call this encouraging group of kind professionals my family.
