Presenting our 6th scholarship recipient.
We were honored to present our sixth scholarship recipient on Tuesday, June 4, 2013 at Clara Barton High School Awards Night in Brooklyn, New York.
Marianna Beaute took home almost all the awards that evening but the highlight was the S.M.B.S. Inc. presentation by our executive director and board member Diana Diaz-Torres. Ms. Diaz-Torres presented Marianna with a certificate from the organization to recognize Marianna's efforts in achieving academic success despite advertise in her life. But, most importantly Marianna was welcomed to the S.M.B.S. family. The heartfelt speech was about Stephanie's legacy and the mission of the scholarship.
Marianna was one of over thirty applicants. Although there were multiple excellent applications, Marianna was a prime choice.
"The goal of our organization is to eventually select multiple students, not just one recipient a year", said Ms. Diaz-Torres. It sounds like the organization is well on its way with its wonderful supporters, including existing and new board members, as well as the generous donors and supporters, many of which are friends and family.
Welcome to the S.M.B.S. Inc. family Marianna Beaute. Congratulations on your graduation from Clara Barton High School. Best wishes on your first year of college at Barnard College.
