BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT:
Cal State Bakersfield offers a Hispanic excellence scholarship to all their students regardless of heritage. I’m Eric J Dockery, your Bakersfield neighborhood reporter. I got a chance to speak with some of the recipients and learn how these funds helped them
Each year they hand pick a group of students whether they are coming from highschool, community college or existing CSUB students to receive this scholarship
Erick Platatorres an Graduate Student from CSUB said “Who excel in their academia and are involved in their higher education. So its not just about going to class and back but also essentially going out there and putting yourself in the community. Excelling right, as a student, as a community member, and a professional.”
