Congratulations to Marco Antonio Garcia
With great excitement, the Oscar R Sanchez Scholarship reports that the first scholarship recipient, of what will hopefully be many future recipients, was announced this past Friday April 9, 2010 at the Young Architects Awards Gala, an event for young architects and students put on by the Colorado branch of the American Institute of Architects.
It is a pleasure to name Marco Antonio Garcia as the scholarship recipient. He receives a travel prize of $1,250 and an internship opportunity at an architect's office. Marco's selection truly expresses what the scholarship's goals are about: helping to increase the odds for achievement by providing opportunities to establish connections within the profession. Marco is a hardworking and dedicated Hinkley High School senior in the academically rigorous International Baccalaureate program who is very interested in architecture, especially in 3D graphics. He commuted by RTD public bus from Aurora during a recent semester long internship at Slater Paull Architects, located in downtown Denver. He is noted as a leader by his teachers and peers and shows great promise. Hopefully his growing group of allies will be of support to him on his journey. Marco will be attending the University of Colorado this fall. Congratulations to Marco.
Thanks to the many people who have made the scholarship possible: the organizers, AEF, ACE, advisors, supporters, family, friends and all who have generously donated to the endowment.
