“The scholarship from the Gonzalo Aponte Foundation has been more than just supplementary help for my university studies. On many occasions it allowed me to have a safe place to study and time without financial worries, so I could participate in extracurricular activities of social, cultural and academic enrichment that helped me get to where I am today.”
~Xavier Nieves, former FGA scholar
