With a firm commitment to education and the future of youth, Aguas Buenas Mayor Karina Nieves Serrano awarded more than $30,000 in scholarships and economic incentives this week to students from Aguas Buenas, recognizing their effort and dedication in their various educational stages.

During several activities held at City Hall, the mayor awarded a total of 67 scholarships: 47 to regular program students and 20 to special education students, with a total investment of $14,000. In turn, 109 fourth-year high school students received $100 checks as an incentive for successfully completing such a significant stage.

“Young people are the engine of Puerto Rico’s future,” Nieves Serrano said. “Education is the most powerful tool we have to transform our communities. Investing today in their academic development is betting on a better tomorrow for all.”

In addition, as part of the municipal administration’s ongoing support for education, donations were made to all graduating classes in the municipality. Intermediate level classes received $1,000, while higher level classes benefited with $2,000.

“In Aguas Buenas we believe in our students,” the mayor added. “Recognizing their effort, accompanying them on this educational path and supporting them in their goals is part of our mission. They can continue to count on me.”
