The Bol\u00edvar Network Announces 2023 First-Year Scholarship Recipient, Distributes Award of $1,500 this Spring to Incoming Student Araceli Soto Constancio<\/b><\/p>\n

The Bol\u00edvar Network\u2019s First-Year Scholarship provides funds for an exceptional Hispanic\/Latinx high school student from the Commonwealth of Virginia to incentivize them to attend the University of Virginia. Founded on the core principles of leadership and service to the Hispanic and Latinx community, this Scholarship recognizes the extraordinary talent of students in our community and their ability to create a lasting impact on the University, the surrounding Charlottesville community, and future post-graduate plans. Currently a one-time scholarship awarded to an incoming student entering their first-year, the scholarship committee plans to grow both the number of scholarships and amount awarded each year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The First-Year Scholarship was originally created in 2009 under the leadership of Hernando Herrera (\u201889) and Jenny Willier Murphy (\u201889) during their time on The Bol\u00edvar Network\u2019s Board and with a generous donation from Alexandria Arriaga (\u201887). Coinciding with Hernando and Jenny\u2019s 20th Reunion, they both made separate five-year pledges and launched the Network\u2019s first Capital Campaign for 2010-2015 which fundraised $22,000 out of the $100,000 goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2023 First-Year Scholarship Committee was chaired by Hernando Herrera. In addition to Jenny Murphy, Committee members included Admissions Vice-Chair\u00a0 Jason Puryear (\u201809), Bol\u00edvar Network Chair Claudia Quintero (\u201811), student leader Ingrid Ramos (\u201823), and inaugural First-Year Scholarship Recipient Kiara Barrientos (\u201824). Through a collaboration between the Committee, Scholarship & Awards Vice-Chair Hannah \u201cMel\u201d Borja (\u201819), and the team at the UVA Alumni Association, the release of the third First-Year Scholarship award was made possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are pleased to announce that the 2023 First-Year Scholarship Recipient is Arceli Soto Constancio.<\/b> Araceli has done everything in her power \u2013 both inside and outside of the classroom \u2013 to make her community more inclusive. <\/span>While in school, she created an English tutoring program for speakers of other languages (ESOL) and worked to raise awareness about the struggles posed by language barrier<\/span>s. She will start at the University in the Fall of 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n

We appreciate any support, small or large, to make this goal a reality. <\/span>If you would like to contribute to the First-Year Scholarship or to other initiatives and awards from The Bol\u00edvar Network please donate <\/b>here<\/b><\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
