“De Mestral and his 18-year-old sister, Celia, are among the latest students to be awarded a small scholarship by El Centro Hispano, a community agency in White Plains. Carlos received a $2,000 award that will help him pay for books and for his $3,000 contribution toward his Harvard tuition. Celia received $1,000, which will help her pay tuition at City College in the Bronx in the fall.

The program, designed to help young Latino students go to college, began humbly in 1980.”*
