Impacting the Future of Our Youth

“This scholarship saw me, it saw my culture, and it saw me as a leader. They invested in me, and it really paid off! Scholarships like Ibero help. They help close the gap, they help create greater access for students and for their families. They are investing in us and our future and hope that we could pay it forward one day.”

“I think receiving the Ibero Scholarship was something that was defining to me, in the sense that it gave me an inkling of the responsibility that I could have if I chose to take it, not only to be part of this community, but to help lead it in some way, shape or form, Whether it be small or larger. I think one of the most noble things that we could do is recognizing our young people, giving them a platform, to be recognized and celebrating “lo mejor de lo nuestro”… It indirectly throws down a challenge to that next generation: we see you, we see what you are doing, make sure you are making an impact.”

Update from an Ibero Scholar

“Hello, my name is Evelyn Rebert. In 2021 I was awarded the IBERO scholarship. I finished my first year at SUNY Brockport as a Nursing Major and Spanish minor. I had a great year, there were small challenges but I overcame them and finished my year off strong. My classes were time-consuming but by creating a strong schedule to balance friends and homework I was able to earn a 4.0 in both semesters. Last summer I worked two jobs, one in retail and the other one from home. Coincidentally, my professor offered me a job to work remotely for her and her research. I also took a summer class to lighten the load for this upcoming semester. I was overall happy with my first year and excited to get back to my college routine!”
