Winn Announces Gates Millennium Recipient, Arianna Gomez

C.C. Winn High School is proud to announce Arianna Gomez as their 10th Gates Millennium Recipient since they began their college advising program.  The Gates Millennium Program was first initiated by Bill and Melinda Gates to help excelling minority students complete a successful career path.  Program selects 1,000 talented students each year to receive a good-through-graduation scholarship to use at any college or university of their choice.  The scholarship helps students with the self-help portion of financial aid and allows students to get "full assistance" based on academics, community service and financial need.

Arianna Gomez, who is thankful to Mrs. Maria Uriegas and Mr. Randy Laurence for believing in her potential as a scholar will be attending Baylor University's Honors College this fall. She has been awarded Baylor's Presidents Gold Scholarship for $56,000 based on merit.  The Gates Scholarship will cover her cost of attendance after financial aid from the government and institution.
 
Congratulations to C.C. Winn on another WINN-ER!
