20 HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS RECEIVE AID FOR COLLEGE FROM THE SHOPS AT MONTEBELLO The Shops at Montebello Awards $9,500 in Scholarships MONTEBELLO, Calif., July 7, 2013 — Twenty deserving high school students from the Montebello Unified School District were awarded $9,500 in scholarships through The Shops at Montebello’s Scholarship Awards, meant to recognize graduating seniors in the community and help them continue their education. An awards ceremony was held at the center on June 16, which recognized local seniors in their pursuit of continuing their education at a 4-year college, community college or vocational school. The scholarship program was created in 1985, when the center opened, as a way to assist local students in recognizing their educational goals and to provide initial monetary support to achieve those goals. “We’re honored that we’re able to support the academic endeavors of promising and driven youth within the Montebello community,” said Marida Petitjean, director of marketing and business development at The Shops at Montebello. “Our hope is that our scholarships will help remove some of the financial obstacles that would otherwise prevent a student from achieving the dream of a college education.” Candidates were evaluated on criteria that included a combination of academic accomplishments, work experience, involvement in the community and essay content detailing why it is important to further their educational path after high school. In addition to the completed application form, applicants were also required to submit letters of recommendation and a current school transcript. Award recipients included the following high school seniors from the Montebello Unified School District: Itzia Rosas and Juan Carlos Carmona from Community Day School Graciela Jimenez, Narak Bin and Salvador Moreno from Vail High School Benjamin Limones, Daisy Zavala, Noel Esparza Duran, Roberto Ulloa and Yessica Tellez-Escobedo from Bell Gardens High School Emily Castro, Gia H. Duong, James G. Kladouris, Malachi Lee Jackson and Maribel A. Medina from Montebello High School Elizabeth Moreno, Ellen N. Murana, Erick Rojas Garcia, Carina Areli Macias and Karina Amor from Schurr High School For more information, visit The Shops at Montebello on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram at facebook/shopsatmontebello, twitter/shopsmontebello or instagram/shopsmontebello.
