Stephanie Garcia was undecided about where she was going to study mathematics in the fall until Friday night, when the 18-year-old was awarded a $24,000 scholarship.
The Pasco High School senior was the biggest winner of the night with the 2007 Dan Frost Scholarship. The announcement caught her by surprise and brought tears to her eyes before a crowd of more than 2,700 at TRAC in Pasco.
Despite a planned visit today to another campus, Garcia says Western Washington University in Bellingham has been her college of choice and now can become a reality thanks to the Hispanic Academic Achievers Program.
