The Felix M. and Governor Carlos G. Camacho Scholarship Foundation has awarded $2,000 scholarships to three outstanding undergraduate students from the University of Guam for the 2024-2025 academic year.<\/p>\n

Freshman Mia Marchessault, sophomore Yoonji Seo, and junior Brian Teodosio were recognized at a special awards ceremony on Nov. 9 for their academic achievements and commitment to their studies. Marchessault and Teodosio are pursuing degrees in business administration, while Seo is majoring in accounting.<\/p>\n

The scholarships reflect the Camacho Foundation\u2019s mission to support aspiring business leaders by providing financial assistance to students pursuing degrees in business, accounting, marketing, and related fields. Since its establishment in 1985, the foundation has empowered over 40 students from UOG, Guam Community College, and other institutions to achieve their academic and professional goals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Felix M. and Governor Carlos G. Camacho Scholarship Foundation is deeply committed to empowering Guam\u2019s students to reach their potential,\u201d said Carlos P. Camacho, Community Relations manager, PFC Shared Services. \u201cBy investing in their education, we\u2019re not just supporting individual success but also strengthening the future of our island\u2019s economy and community. We are honored to support these exceptional students as they take the next steps toward becoming the business leaders of tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Three scholarships are awarded annually to University of Guam students who meet the foundation\u2019s criteria, which include full-time enrollment, maintaining a minimum GPA of 2.5, and being in good standing with the university. Gena Rojas, interim dean of Enrollment Management and Student Success at UOG, commended the recipients: \u201cThese scholarships underscore the value of investing in our students and their bright futures. We are grateful to the Camacho Foundation for continuing to champion the aspirations of Guam\u2019s next generation of business leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

The University of Guam congratulates Marchessault, Seo, and Teodosio on their well-deserved recognition and expresses its gratitude to the Felix M. and Governor Carlos G. Camacho Scholarship Foundation for its ongoing support of higher education in Guam. (PR)<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
