Welcome Senior Class of 2011!
Mahatma, Carolina, and Riceland Rice in partnership with Univision Radio offer high school seniors in designated areas who wish to attend college the chance to win a two thousand dollar prize by writing an essay.
Our scholarship program has been in existence since 1987 when it was first offered in the New York - New Jersey Metro Area. In 1989, the program was expanded to include the Miami (Dade, Monroe and Broward County) area and again in 1996 to include the Los Angeles and Orange County area. The Chicago Metro area was added in 2000. In 2006, we added the San Francisco - San Jose Metro area.
Since its inception, this program has awarded more than $700,000 to college-bound high school seniors, earning the respect of teachers and administrators throughout the country.
