Mesa Vista High School senior Mariano Trujillo received a $2,000 scholarship April 29 from the Sparx and Lorenzo Antonio Foundation, an Albuquerque-based non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging higher education.
The foundation reviewed hundreds of applications and awarded scholarships to 54 high school seniors from throughout New Mexico. The awards totaled $144,500 and ranged from $2,000 to $8,000 each.
Scholarships were awarded based on grade point average, financial need, recommendations and personal goals.
