halimo Yusuf - Dell Scholar 2014

Congratulations to Halimo Yusuf a senior AVID student.  Halimo has been awarded the prestigious Dell Scholars.  The Dell Scholars Program is an initiative of the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation.  The Dell Scholars program, a large national program, specifically requires students to have demonstrated academic potential and financial need.  Only  300 awards are given each year among thousands of applicants. 

One strength of the Dell Scholars program is the wrap-around approach to ensure that scholars succeed.  The award is for up to six years and provides Scholars with “technology, a private scholar networking community, resources, and mentoring to ensure they have the support they need to achieve their college degrees. Scholars become part of a support network for each other that is made up of themselves, their schools, families, peers and a dedicated Dell Scholar team at the Michael & Susan Dell foundation.”
