To qualify, applicants had to be sophomores or recent graduates of a two-year institution in the United States with no previous enrollment at a four-year institution. They also needed a GPA of at least 3.5, demonstrate unmet financial needs and plan to enroll full-time in a baccalaureate program during the fall.<\/span><\/p>\n

From a pool of more than 1,200 applicants, including 332 community colleges, one hundred winners were selected.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s not a direct bridge for people with hearing impairments in our world,\u201d the 19-year-old said. \u201cI want to establish a software that can bridge that disability with a hearing world.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Camba, who wants to become a computer engineer, also performed mathematics and programming research as an intern at the School of Science at MDC. In 2021, she co-founded the Interactive Bilingual Reading Program in Nicaragua in partnership with <\/span>FNE International<\/span><\/a><\/span> to help children learn English.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe foundation is my second home,\u201d Davila said. \u201cI have constantly learned new ways to feel, experience, value and live my life through the stories of patients and service to those who need it most.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

J\u00f3venes Contra el C\u00e1ncer, established by her brother, Alex Davila, before he passed away in 2006 from Osteosarcoma, focuses on raising cancer awareness and helping patients cope with their diagnosis and recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWinning the scholarship has been a unique experience,\u201d Troconis said. \u201cIt was not only a surprise for me but a motivation that everything I propose with effort I will be able to achieve it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2016, Troconis and her mother, Isabel Infante, co-founded the Casa Hogar Project\u2014a nonprofit dedicated to providing low-income children with food, clothing and other necessities\u2014in Venezuela. She wants to implement the same efforts in the U.S.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to definitely go into oncology research, but at the same time treat the patients because I know that that relationship between the physician and the patient helps a lot,\u201d Velazquez said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Velazquez, 20, interned at the University of Florida last summer to complete research on how pesticide was affecting avocado plants. She won the Microbiology and Cell Sciences Research Poster Award at the Cell Science Summer Research Experience Symposium.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
