Scholarship Info & Recipient Photos

Friends, thank you for reading MARIA’S JOURNEY!!!

Most of you know that our book is in its second printing!  We are delighted that it has attracted so many readers.  When we wrote it we were so happy that we had a way to spread Maria’s story of inspiration as she surmounted the many struggles toward immigration and eventually, citizenship with faith, family, friends and plenty of hard work and perseverance.

As you may know, all authors’ profits go toward our Educational Fund for needy and hard-working students.  They, too, thank you for helping them gain a foothold on their future.

EDUCATIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS 

 

We believe that education is essential for those wishing to reach their goals and potential in life.  In order to assist in this quest, we established the RAMON AND TRISHA HULL ARREDONDO EDUCATIONAL FUND as our way of “paying it forward” for all the blessings we have received.

 

ALL authors’ profits are given to this cause, either in the form of scholarships and/or a donation of copies of MARIA’S JOURNEY for reading assignments for Hispanic/Latino studies, Immigration and a variety of courses such as English, Diversity, Social Sciences, Women’s Studies, and Influence of Family Values.

 

It fulfills the requirement of 9th grade Core Curriculum and is used in classes preparing immigrants for U.S Citizenship and by Genealogy Groups researching and writing family histories.  We have been privileged to present to Universities, colleges and high schools across the country, as well as civic, religious groups and book clubs.
