COVID-19 UPDATE: 2020 Lillian Marrero Scholarship Award, 3/24/2020:
Dear friends and colleagues:
Sadly, the entire world is coping through an extremely difficult time, and to help contain
the spread and effects of COVID-19, many governors and mayors have put into place
various “stay-at-home” orders, which includes the closures of many universities
throughout the country. In light of this, the REFORMA Northeast (RNE) Scholarship
Committee has made the decision to extend the application period for the 2020 Lillian
Marrero Scholarship Award.
The original application deadline was April 1, 2020, with the announcement of the winner
of the award to have come April 15. The new application deadline will be Saturday, August
15, 2020, and the new award date will be Tuesday, September 1, 2020. The rest of the
criteria will remain the same; the scholarship will still be in two disbursements, one in the
fall, and the second in the early part of the new year, contingent upon the winner’s
continued participation in RNE work. Scholarship application materials are being updated
with all the new information, but the current form and information may still be used to
apply.
Please check www.reformanortheast.org and https://www.reformanortheast.org/lillian-
marrero-scholarship.html for updates on the scholarship, virtual meeting dates and times,
and other information. In the meantime, we wish you well on the remainder of your
semester and your spring in general, y por favor, stay safe and healthy.
All the best,
Louis Muñoz Jr., Chair, RNE Scholarship Committee
