Herzing University-Toledo is the latest Northwest Ohio institution of higher education to join the Diamante Awards. Herzing will offer three annual scholarships to help outstanding local Latino students to attend college.
“At Herzing University, we are committed to helping students achieve their career goals,” said Greg Guzmán, Toledo campus president. “We are pleased and honored to join the Diamante Latino Scholars Campaign in partnership with four other colleges and universities. As a Latino myself, I find it extremely important, both personally and professionally, to help the next generations of Latino youth in the region to improve their lives.”
The 2013 Diamante Awards presentation will take place in the Franciscan Center at Lourdes University on Friday, September 13, 2013. For more information about the Diamante Awards and to nominate an individual or group online, visit http://diamantetoledo.org. Nominations are open now through August 4.
The awards recognize individuals and organizations for their outstanding achievements and service to Latinos. In 2003, the Diamante Latino Scholars Campaign was added into the awards celebration, a one-of-a-kind student scholarship fund sponsored by Bowling Green State University, Herzing University-Toledo, Lourdes University, Owens Community College, and The University of Toledo. To date, the Diamante Latino Scholars Campaign has contributed approximately $1 million to Latino student scholarships in the region.
