SCHOLARSHIP HISTORY: The “De Raíces a Alas” Scholarship was established by the owner and CEO of A&G Professional Services LLC, a proud daughter of an immigrant mother who worked tirelessly to provide a better life for her family. Having grown up with humble beginnings and laboring in the produce fields from a young age, she never imagined she would one day become an educated woman and the CEO of a company she founded. With the support of her husband and children, she is thriving in a male-dominated sector and attributes her success to the example set by her hardworking mother and the unwavering support of her husband. Driven by her journey and the belief that education transforms lives, she has partnered with Southwestern College to create opportunities for students to pursue their dreams. Through this scholarship, she is committed to giving back to her community and empowering the next generation to rise from their roots and soar.
