Hilda Cerritos and Natalia Rojas Each Receive $25,000 Freedom Award Scholarship From the United Health Foundation and PacifiCare Foundation

“Hilda Cerritos of North Hollywood, Calif., and Natalia Rojas of Arlington, Texas, each received a $25,000 Freedom Award scholarship through the United Health Foundation and PacifiCare Foundation Latino Health Scholars Program.

The Freedom Award is a $50,000 grant given annually in honor of individuals that, according to Russell Bennett, vice president of Latino Health Solutions at UnitedHealthcare, “have demonstrated tremendous sacrifice and commitment to make a positive difference in our communities.” Last year, the Latino Health Scholars program was expanded to include two $25,000 scholarships for the most outstanding bilingual and bicultural students dedicated to pursuing careers in health care.”
