UHD and Univision Houston celebrated the fifth Univision Contigo Tu Futuro Scholarship reveal on Wednesday, April 23—and the first one to be hosted at UHD.
The TDECU Tour Room was packed with people, especially the two scholarship finalists and their families. Javier “Jay” L. Zambrano, Vice President of Advancement and University Relations, welcomed everyone and expressed his gratitude to Univision as an exceptional partner to UHD. “Thank you for your steadfast promotion of UHD,” said Zambrano, “and this life-changing scholarship, accounting for a record-breaking 638 scholarship applications!”
“Thank you, Univision Houston, for your belief in UHD, for understanding the importance and value of a college degree and how college degrees can change the trajectory of lives and transform communities. Thank you for epitomizing what it means to be a partner, now five years in a row,” he added.
Univision’s Grace Olivares then announced that both finalists were recipients of the full-ride scholarship. Anahi Reyes of Alief Elsik High School and Johan Banguera of Cy-Fair High School will join UHD as freshmen Gators in August!
