2022 Scholar Selected - Joyce Lin

It is with great pleasure to announce our 2022 scholar recepient.  Joyce Lin, a graduate of Francis Lewis High School and entering freshmen this fall at Barnard College of Columbia University.



Here is a message from our newest scholar:

"Thank you so much for selecting me as the Stephanie Marie Burgos scholarship recipient! I am incredibly humbled and honored to be selected.  As the first female in my family to graduate from high school and pursue a college degree, I am beyond thankful for the Stephanie Marie Burgos team for enabling my college dreams. 

I would like to thank the Stephanie Marie Burgos Scholarship for empowering me on my journey to pursue a higher education.  Coming FGLI household and a single mother household, I understand the challenges and hurdles that face underprivileged and under-resourced students as they chase their higher education dreams.   I aspire to give back and become the grounding foundation for other students in the future and help them on their college dreams the same way the Stephanie Marie Burgos team has done through mentorship, liftlong learning, guidance, and financial support.  I am so beyond excited and am grateful to be a scholar part of this wonderful family.  I cannot wait to enact change alongside the Stephanie Marie Burgos team."




CONGRATULATIONS JOYCE & WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY!!!
