Caption: Three $1,000 scholarships were awarded to several Laredo Community College students on Tuesday at the Fort McIntosh Campus. The scholarships will be used this summer as students continue their education in the agriculture sciences and related fields. Pictured, from left to right, are Nora Garza, LCC project director for the grant; David Vela, J.W. Nixon High School graduate and LCC freshman; Mariela Aguilera, United High School graduate and LCC freshman; and Michael Saenz, an LCC sophomore. Students enrolled in the USDA program have an opportunity to take courses at Texas State University in San Marcos via teleconferencing. Also planned is a one-week Summer Academy at LCC's Lamar Bruni Vergara Environmental Science Center, and a free informational "eco-tour" to the TSU campus.
