PRINCETON, Nueva Jersey, 17 de julio de 2014 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Por cuarto año consecutivo, los empleados de Educational Testing Service (ETS) recompensaron ayer a estudiantes destacados de 11 condados de toda Nueva Jersey que aspiran a ingresar a la universidad, al otorgarles becas por un total de casi $64,000. Con las becas otorgadas este año, el monto total de las becas universitarias otorgadas desde que se lanzó el programa, que han beneficiado a 150 estudiantes de Nueva Jersey, asciende a $500,000.

Las becas fueron entregadas durante ceremonias que tuvieron lugar anoche en la sede de ETS. Las becas provienen de donaciones de los empleados y se distribuyen en el marco del Fondo de Acción Comunitaria de los Empleados de ETS (ECAF, por su sigla en inglés). Los beneficiarios de las becas fueron seleccionados en 11 condados de Nueva Jersey e incluyen a ocho estudiantes del condado de Mercer.  

Los ganadores de las becas del ECAF de EST en 2014 son:

Kaitlin L. Abrams, Westfield Senior High School, Colgate University
Molly Berger, Toms River High School North, Universidad de Michigan-Ann Arbor
Daquane D. Bland-Bennett, Asbury Park High School, West Virginia Wesleyan College
Thelma Teresa Carrera, Hamilton North High School, The College of New Jersey
Brooke A. Chretien, Cedar Creek High School, American University
Hellen M. Estrella, Trenton Central High School, Denison University
Jordan A. Fleming, Lawrence High School, Louisiana State University-Baton Rouge
Dalis M. Graham, Lawrence High School, Towson University
Aliya C. Grooms, Trenton Central High School, Spelman College
Kayla Hutchison, Wildwood Catholic High School, Atlantic Cape Community College
Vincent Patrick Mattia, Whippany Park High School, Rutgers University-New Brunswick
Devashri Nirav Parikh, Clifton High School, Ramapo College of New Jersey
Dannys Ramirez, Trenton Central High School, Rider University
Jessica P. Ramsin, South Hunterdon Regional High School, Pennsylvania State University-Campus principal
Amber R. Richardson, Oakcrest High School, Universidad de Iowa

Imani Walker, Trenton Central High School, New Jersey City University
Jahlisa L. Wall-Prunty, Scotch Plains-Fanwood High School, Montclair State University
Linda Yarfi, Alexander Hamilton Preparatory Academy, Kean University

Los estudiantes mantuvieron altas calificaciones y sobresalieron en clases de nivel académico avanzado y en clases Advanced Placement® y muchos de ellos prestaban al mismo tiempo servicios voluntarios en sus comunidades, trabajaban o hacían ambas cosas. Lograron esto mientras sus vidas les planteaban dificultades importantes, como carencia de vivienda, pobreza, enfermedad, depresión y recursos limitados debido a problemas de salud o de empleo que afectaron a sus familias. 

"Estos estudiantes son la encarnación del valor y la perseverancia ante la adversidad; tienen un espíritu irrefrenable y una determinación para alcanzar el éxito", afirmó Walt MacDonald, Presidente y Director Ejecutivo de ETS. "Y son tan talentosos e inteligentes, como capaces de sobreponerse. Les deseo muchos éxitos en los próximos años a nombre de los empleados de ETS que hicieron posibles estas becas".

Las áreas de concentración académica que se proponen estudiar los beneficiarios de las becas en 2014 son ciencias forenses, comunicaciones, entrenamiento atlético, biología, ingeniería, enfermería, cursos preparatorios para la carrera de derecho, arte y música, negocios, bioquímica, dentistería, mercadeo, informática y otras áreas.

En el pasado, ECAF financió la construcción de una casa para Habitat for Humanity® en Trenton, Nueva Jersey, y de un centro de recursos educativos ubicado cerca de la sede de ETS en Lawrenceville, Nueva Jersey.
