We are happy to announce the Ruth cox Scholarship recipient of the year is Secondary Education / ESJ / Latin American Studies major, Yulisa Fernandez-Frausto! Yulisa is set to graduate in fall of 2022 now that she has the funding support she needs to get there. Thank you for your support in memorial of Ruth and helping the next generation of change makers in the classroom. 

With the goal of doubling the rewards scholarship well underway, Ali and Rory set their new goals: 1) continue to have real and meaningful impact in the form of direct annual scholarships, 2) ensure long term durability of the scholarship by establishing an endowment with the goal of reaching $50,000 by 2025.

$2,000 Ruth Cox Scholarship Award for AY20-21 was awarded to Gabriela Aracely Serrano.
