“The National Association of Hispanic Publications Foundation (NAHP Foundation) and GMAC announced the recipients of the GMAC Smart Edge Book Allowance program after an intensive review of hundreds of applications.
The winners were chosen after a review of their academic credentials including their grade point average, resume and a written essay.
“We had a large turn out of applicants with this program. We are thrilled to know that all the applicants now have a broader understanding of finances,” said Eddie Escobedo, chairman of the Board of Directors of the NAHP Foundation.
SmartEdge by GMAC is an educational program designed to increase awareness and understanding about automotive financing, unlock the mysteries of personal credit and help consumers make informed financial decisions.
”GMAC is proud to partner with the NAHP to help students manage the costs of higher education,” said Barbara Stokel, executive vice president, North American Operations. “The SmartEdge Book Allowance is a wonderful complement our SmartEdge financial literacy program, helping encourage higher education while promoting responsible personal finance habits.”
