Testimonial from a scholarship recipient
Daytona State student Lilla Vargas, 22, “The
scholarship helped me to continue in the Education
program, to help pay for my classes and my books
– the IME gave me great financial assistance,” said
Vargas, who lives with her family in Pierson,
Florida. “When I finish my degree I hope to find a
teaching job locally to be able to give my
assistance back to the community and the
children, especially the bilingual children.”
