“This scholarship will in every way support my dreams of becoming a first-generation college student,” Kamily Delgado-Perez, who’s graduating from Liberal Arts and Science Academy, said. “I became a member at 15 years old, and I can’t say how grateful I am to have worked with A+FCU for so long. Their dedication to supporting young adults in the community allows students like me to dream big and achieve our goals!”
“This scholarship is more than financial assistance – it is a vote of confidence in my mission to transform bilingual education,” Norma Romero-Komlofske, Texas A&M Kingsville student studying for her Ed.D. in Bilingual Education, said. “It will grant me the opportunity to focus on groundbreaking research, amplify the voices of multilingual students, and ensure that every child’s language is seen as an asset rather than a challenge.”
Recipients were recognized at the A+FCU Scholarship Ceremony held May 21, 2025.
