Carolina, Mahatma and Riceland Rice Announce Scholarship Funding

Carolina, Mahatma and Riceland Rice announced today that they will continue their long-standing commitment to education by providing $2,000 scholarships to 26 outstanding high school seniors in the metro areas of New York/New Jersey, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami and San Francisco/San Jose. Nationwide, the 2006-2007 Rice Scholarship Program, along with program partner Univision® Radio Network, will award $52,000 in educational scholarships during special award ceremonies honoring the students and their families in May 2007.

We understand the financial burden that many families face when sending their child to college, said Alfredo J. Gomez, senior brand manager for Mahatma and Carolina Rice. We hope that by helping so many young people reach their dream of a higher education, we can help improve the standards for their families, local communities and our nation. With college costs on the rise, Gomez urges parents, teachers and guidance counselors to encourage graduating seniors to seek out and apply for scholarship funds to help offset higher education expenditures. Providing encouragement and support goes a long way in motivating students to develop a mindset that they can be successful, said Gomez, who has been directing the scholarship program for the past 18 years.
