Clubs offer scholarships

    Two South Campus groups are recognizing Spanish students.

   Lizeth Escorcia and Natalia Dominguez received $200 scholarships for TCC last week from the Latino Student Union.

   The Senior Ed Spanish club, Andale, will also award a TCC tuition scholarship.

   Charles Mercer, president and founder of the seniors club, said, “We decided to give back to the students in the form of a scholarship.”

   During its Friday meetings in the SUB, the club rehearses and plays scenes from Destinos, a Spanish soap opera used in Spanish classes to complement lectures and textbook lessons.

   Acting out the parts is a fun way to learn Spanish, Mercer said.

   Spanish instructors Julieta Cano and Linda Roy have supported the group, and a student recipient has been chosen from their classes.

   “We have one scholarship this spring; we may have two next fall,” he said.
