Comité Noviembre Scholarship Awards Program

Comité Noviembre’s scholarship campaign was launched to identify more opportunities for the community to sponsor scholarships in an individual’s name, family’s name, or in memory or honor of a loved one.  Comité Noviembre requests a commitment of $1,000 per year for five years, allowing Comité Noviembre to sponsor additional scholars for five years. This commitment allows the donor to choose the parameters for the scholarship they sponsor. 


Since its inception, Comité Noviembre has developed programs focused on providing educational opportunities and leadership development for Puerto Rican and Hispanic youth. These programs are firmly rooted in the belief that to succeed in life, one must pursue a higher education, give back to one's community through volunteer efforts, and know one's cultural roots.  

 

Our scholars continue to honor this tradition of giving back to their community and making a clear impact and difference through their volunteer efforts. Comité Noviembre is extremely excited about the future of our community and our young people. The caliber of students who have applied for and received the scholarship, have demonstrated a desire to pursue their chosen fields and have given back to the community in various ways that directly affect change. Many have shown a vision and maturity beyond their years, and others have already faced and have overcome many challenges.

George Daniel is one of Comite Noviembre's 2023 scholars. He attends Monroe College in New Rochelle, New York. George participated in the Culinary Institute of New York Competition and received the Silver Medal for participation in an ACF Sanctioned Culinary Competition on December 2, 2023. Students compete not against each other, but for themselves. They compete in their skills. Medals are given after each student's dish is judged by the judges, on the taste and presentation of the dish. Below he is pictured with his father George Santiago and his mother, Maria Diaz Santiago.
