Honoring Legacy and Aspirations: Montoya Rover Dreamers Scholarships Awarded to Sam Houston Seniors
The Montoya Rover Dreamers Scholarships were awarded to two deserving Sam Houston High School seniors on Monday at Sam Houston High School. The 2024 recipients, Janelle Orosco and Daron Johnson, were honored in a ceremony attended by the Rover family, who established the scholarship in memory of their daughter, Montoya Rover.
This annual scholarship underscores the Rover family’s commitment to supporting the academic aspirations of local students. Each year, the fund provides financial assistance to help cover college expenses for selected students who exemplify the qualities of ambition, resilience, and community spirit that Montoya Rover cherished.
Janelle and Daron, this year’s beneficiaries, received their scholarship checks in a presentation, symbolizing not only the financial support but also the community’s faith in their potential. These awards serve as a stepping stone to higher education, lessening the financial burden and allowing recipients to focus more on their studies and less on how to fund them.
As we celebrate the achievements of this year’s recipients, the Rover family encourages all eligible students to prepare for next year’s round. This annual opportunity continues to be a vital resource for the youth of our community, fostering educational opportunities and honoring Montoya’s legacy.
