Buckeye CableSystem/Telemundo Scholarship Recipient Announced
TOLEDO, OHIO, June 6, 2011 – The Board of Trustees of Toledo Community Foundation, Inc. is pleased to announce that Nancy Ponce of South Toledo is the recipient of a $1,500 Buckeye CableSystem/Telemundo Scholarship. This scholarship provides an annual, one-time award for graduating high school students of Hispanic heritage who are permanent residents of Buckeye CableSystem’s Toledo service area to attend an accredited post-secondary institution of their choice.
Ms. Ponce graduated this month from Bowsher High School and will attend The University of Toledo this fall where she will major in criminal justice.
While in high school, Ms. Ponce took part in many of the career programs offered, which is exemplified by her receiving the math, science, art, social studies and Spanish awards; she was also inducted into the National Honor Society. Ms. Ponce has volunteered at the South Toledo Branch Library, helped organize several Cinco de Mayo programs, and with art events at Bowsher High School.
The Scholarship was established by Buckeye CableSystem and Telemundo, one of the Spanish-language networks carried on Buckeye. Scholarship applicants are required to have a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA and submit an essay addressing the theme “I’m Proud to be a Hispanic-American in Ohio.”
Buckeye CableSystem serves more than 130,000 customers in the greater Toledo area, offering 300 digital, high-definition, and analog channels of entertainments and information, as well as video on demand. The locally owned firm also offers Buckeye Tel, residential telephone service, and Buckeye Express high-speed Internet access.
Applications for the Buckeye CableSystem/Telemundo Scholarship of the Toledo Community Foundation are available through the Guidance Departments of high schools in the Buckeye CableSystem Toledo service area, generally after the first of the year. Scholarship awards are announced in April.
