We want to send a big thank you again to everyone who applied for the RoverPass Outdoor Entrepreneur Scholarship! There were over 100 applicants this time, more than twice the amount of last semester. With many outstanding essays, it was a difficult task to choose only one winner.

With that said, we’d like to congratulate the winner of the $1,000 Scholarship, Dayanira Velasco!

Congratulations Dayanira!
