To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Kenia Diaz and I work at Sea Mar Community Health Centers. Our Sea Mar Scholarships for the 2023 – 2024 academic year are now open! Enclosed please find a flyer promoting our scholarships in English and in Spanish. The flyers attached have a QR code that will direct scholars to our Scholarship website where they can learn more about the scholarship and apply. You can also access our website, https://www.seamar.org/scholarships.html, by clicking here.
Please help us recruit eligible students by posting the flyers around your school or institution and announcing this great scholarship opportunity. We would highly appreciate it if you could pass this email/message along to other community leaders who can disseminate this information to eligible students. Here is a brief overview of our Sea Mar Scholarships:
Sea Mar Farmworker High School & College Scholarships
Sea Mar recognizes and acknowledges the barriers children of farm working families face in their pursuit of a college degree. Economic strains, as well as the language and cultural barriers can often affect these students.
Sometimes students need to work after-school and all summer to assist their family. Sea Mar is proud to provide annual scholarships to help make college a reality.
Award amount: $1,000.
