2016-2017 Scholarship Recipient: Rolando Mendez

I want to thank the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for awarding me with the 2016
Scholarship. This scholarship has helped me a tremendous amount in going towards my student
expenses. Something that was a big concern of my was not having enough resources to pay for
all the expenses that come with going to college. Through the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce I
was able to be connected with many professional who have helped in my career as a Business
major. Many of the staff have guided me to do my best academically and in my personal life.
The community hours I was required to give back to the organization were a joy to do, I helped
with network meetings, social events, and some work around the office. Throughout these events
I was able to meet new people and form new connections. I am very grateful for all the
contributions the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has done for me along with the staff who have
greatly contributed to the organization everyday.

Sincerely,
Rolando Mendez Jr.
