$1.7 Million Gift from Hector and Gloria L贸pez Foundation to Benefit 15 L贸pez Scholars
In early July, the Hector and Gloria L贸pez Foundation announced a $1.7 million gift to benefit a group of UTEP students who will be known as L贸pez Scholars. The grant will provide support for tuition and fees to 15 Hispanic, first-generation college students. It will also offer mentoring, tutoring, paid internships, leadership development and more, for up to five years.
This is the L贸pez Foundation鈥檚 first-ever grant. The goal of the program is to enable students to focus on their studies and not be distracted by common barriers.
