ASU gives scholarships for contributions to community


To quote Dianna M. Náñez reporting for The Arizona Republic, "Everyday superheroes such as Shela Hidalgo have the power to change the world."

The 22-year-old college student is among Arizona State University’s Spirit of Service Scholarship recipients.

The ASU program offers scholarships to students dedicated to community service.

Hidalgo, an ASU honors student, considers volunteerism a part of her education.

In just the past couple of weeks, she has run a Valley marathon to raise money for Arizona children with disabilities, helped organize two conferences to foster community service, served as a Tempe-based AmeriCorps volunteer and worked on developing a program for Habitat for Humanity to assess the impact home ownership has on low-income families’ reliance on government services.
