The program provides student scholarships at three higher education institutions in the Mariana Islands: University of Guam, Guam Community College, and Northern Marianas College. The selection committee has chosen three students from UOG, one student from GCC and three students from NMC.
The names of the seven scholarship recipients will be announced at two separate scholarship award presentations. The Guam scholarship awards presentation will be held today, Oct. 4, while the Saipan scholarship awards presentation will be held tomorrow, Oct. 5.
