ALPINE - State Representative Pete Gallego would like to make sure as many people as possible know of scholarships available to Hispanics pursing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). "Many folks do not attend college because of it's price, it is important that you get out and look for these grants and scholarships" Gallego said. The scholarship is available through the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, currently there is a demand for engineers throughout the county and this is a perfect opportunity to help fill this gap.
