THE SID ROMÁN LAW 2023 HISPANIC STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP
We are happy to announce the winners of the 2023 Sid Roman Law Hispanic Student scholarship! The goal of this scholarship is to provide college-bound, Orlando area for Hispanic, Latino, and ESOL students the technology tools needed to attend and succeed in college.
The selection process was difficult as we received applications from many deserving students from Orange County high schools. After careful evaluation and video interviews with the finalists, we could not be prouder and more excited to announce our winners.

Three (3) laptops valued at $1,000 or more were awarded to Boone High School students Alejandro Walker DaSilva, Evion DeLaRosa, and Sebastian L. Rivera (left to right in photo).
