Wood Village presents local scholarships to residents pursuing post-secondary education
Summary
The council honored local scholarship recipients and encouraged ongoing application to a city scholarship program that supports a wide range of post-secondary training and education, including trade programs.
The Wood Village City Council presented city scholarships and invited recipients to come forward for a group photo with council. Staff described the scholarship as a local program intended to provide a "turnaround" or jump-start opportunity for residents of Wood Village pursuing post-secondary education, trade training, or returning to education after time away.
The mayor read the recipients' names—David Rodriguez; Patty Bautista Marquez; Melanie Barbone Tabarez—and one recipient thanked the city for the support. "As a parent, it's very expensive, and every bit helps," the recipient said. Staff encouraged recipients to stay in touch about their progress and invited others who qualify to apply in future cycles.
The council noted the scholarship has run for several years and is open to a broad range of applicants, not limited to recent high-school graduates.
