鈥淭his scholarship is one that impacts not only the students鈥攎aking sure they get to a college or university of their choice鈥攂ut it makes an impact on the entire family,鈥� Dr. Hinojosa said during the awards ceremony. 鈥淎nd when you touch the entire family 鈥� now you're touching the community. As our students succeed, the families succeed, and, ultimately, our community succeeds.鈥�
Peter 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 addressed the audience and shared that the origin of the scholarship program began in 2020, initially as a personal examination of how the 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Corporation could help bring people together within a cultural and political landscape where people seemed to be growing more distant from one another. He needed, he added, a broader perspective. Kristina Henshaw, a 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 investor relations manager, helped him find it.

鈥淧eter came to me to have an open and honest conversation about some very tough subjects,鈥� Henshaw recounted following the award ceremony. 鈥淲e had multiple, collaborative conversations exploring how to best position any form of support where it was most needed.鈥�
Spring ISD was a very intentional choice, she added. According to public data, nearly 83% of Spring ISD鈥檚 more than 34,000 students are categorized as economically disadvantaged. Nearly 60% of these students are considered at risk of dropping out of school.
Demographically, it is also what Dr. Hinojosa described as a 鈥渕elting pot.鈥� Hispanic students account for 51.7% of its enrollment and Black and African American students represent 37.9%.

鈥淭hese scholarships make a difference,鈥� Henshaw said. 鈥淎nd I鈥檓 proud to work for a company that is collaborative and invites perspective and, most importantly, puts its money where its mouth is on these important issues.鈥�
Peter 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 message to the recipients emphasized his hope that they would use this opportunity to make a difference not only in their own lives, but in the relationships they form going forward.
鈥淚 commend each and every one of you. When I'm long gone, I hope that your children will come along and look at your works, your ideas, and your creativity, and thank you for what you've done鈥攖hanking you for the legacy, not just of academia, but also of kindness, graciousness, forgiveness, and contributing something back to society,鈥� he said.
