Women's American GI Forum presents scholarships to local students
Women’s GI Forum, a nonprofit organization providing educational scholarships to graduating seniors in the San Marcos community, recently gave two scholarships to San Marcos High School seniors.
Graduating seniors Nicole Rivera and Angela Hernandez received $500 scholarships from the women’s chapter.
The forum was founded by Hector P. Garcia on March 26, 1948 in Corpus Christi. San Marcos was the third city to join the American GI Forum in the U.S. The San Marcos chapter became the Greater SSgt. J.P. Nevares Memorial AGIF. Nevares’ sister Sylvia N. Garza has been the chairwoman for 20 years in this chapter and a member for 28 years. Garza has been the State of Texas Chair for four years and national vice-chair for the U.S. for two years.
