Seniors awarded special scholarships

Notre Dame seniors Rodolfo Aguilar-Fernandez and Daniella Cabral were awarded college scholarships sponsored by the Ric Gonzalez Memorial Foundation. It is the ninth consecutive year that Notre Dame students earned the annual scholarship.

The Ric Gonzalez Foundation, which since 2004 has been providing college scholarships, including to many NDP alums, was formed after the passing of Ric Gonzalez, co-founder of automotive- and aerospace-supplier Gonzalez Design Group, based in Madison Heights.

Last year, then-senior Carla Aranda was awarded the 2015 Ric Gonzalez Memorial Foundation scholarship, the eighth consecutive year at least one NDP student had earned the scholarship.

A celebration and awards ceremony has been planned for November 5, 2016, at Palazzo DiBocce in Lake Orion.

Since the scholarship was established, the RGMF has been providing scholarships to deserving Hispanic youth in southeast Michigan planning to attend a college or university of their choice. Applicants are evaluated on the following criteria: academic record, strength of application essays, community service and personal qualities.
