ADEMIR TORRES
Ademir was planning to go to a community college because of the cost of four-year institutions.
As a Goodrich scholarship recipient, he was able to go to UNO and become part of a cohort that supports him through his educational journey.
The process to apply for the Goodrich Scholarship is an application that opens in late fall and includes references for recommendations, an interview and essay.
“The interview process was intimidating at first, but I was comfortable in the situation. It was just like having a mutual conversation with two people.”
In addition to academic support, the Goodrich program provides an inclusive environment for students to learn about other cultures.
“It doesn’t matter if you’re within the LGTB community, Hispanic, black, Asian, the thing that matters to them is that you are willing to dedicate yourself to getting a bachelor’s degree.”
