Four Ascenders students from Palo Alto College received a $550 scholarship from GI Forum American Foundation. Recipients of this scholarship were Kayla Martinez, Keren Morin, Inez Villanueva and Joey Cheverria. Only three out of the four were able to attend the ceremony for recognition which was held on Saturday, February 11, at Sabor de Mezcal de México at 10:30 am. Students were recognized and received their scholarship check the same day. 

The GI forum scholarship is based on academic merit and financial need. The scholarship was created to help students develop skills that would help them accomplish their future goals.
