On Wednesday, August 16th, S.M.B.S. Inc. finally met with their 2023 scholarship recipient, Juan “Steven” Bello Ovando and his mother, Ms. Ovando, at El Cafe Colonial in the Bronx, New York. After an intimate dinner, Steven was presented with a certificate and scholarship by Diana Diaz Torres, Executive Director and Fanny J. Mera, Board Member. Ms. Mera introduced herself as Steven's new mentor for the next four years. Part of the scholarship program is to monitor and support the scholars throughout their four years in college. The scholarship committee was glad to have this dinner in Steven's honor as presenting him with the award at his high school was not possible.
Once again, the program would like to congratulate Steven on being the organization's 2023 scholarship recipient. S.M.B.S. Inc. wishes Steven the best in his first year of college at S.U.N.Y. New Paltz.
