Four graduating high school seniors from the Bronx were awarded $12,000 scholarships to support their college education and entrepreneurial ambitions during a ceremony held Friday, June 6, at The Mall at Bay Plaza in Co-op City.
This year’s honorees are Sean Dicks, who will attend Villanova University; Cindy Herrera, who is headed to Lehman College; Joanne Fagbemi, who plans to study at the University of Rochester; and Kiara Lozada, who will enroll at Howard University.
Presented by The Mall at Bay Plaza Entrepreneur Scholarship Foundation, each scholarship is distributed in annual installments of $3,000 over four years. The program is designed to help young Bronxites pursue higher education and develop the skills needed to become future business leaders.
