I will be graduating from the University at Albany State University of New York in May 2014 with a degree in Accounting. The National Hispanic Business Group Scholarship allowed me to pursue my dream of studying abroad to Brazil for an entire semester without having to worry about taking on extra loans to make the trip a reality. It felt great to be chosen for the scholarship and honored at the Gala in front of my family and numerous business professionals who I was able to network with afterwards. I was chosen to receive the scholarship during my final year of college but it could not have come at a better time as it has allowed me to make my final year a truly memorable one.
