"I will be studying Spanish at la Universidad de Sevilla," said Contes. "This scholarship provides an equivalent of $25,000 for round-trip transportation, tuition, fees, room and board, and some educational supplies. I was nominated by my sponsor, William Hall of Lower Burrell, and was one of only eight winners."
