Dear PRUMA Board and Members,
I would like to express my deepest gratitude in regards to receiving a Ramon Berrios Scholarship this year. PRUMA’s continued support of my higher education has proven invaluable to my college career. With the increasing cost of college registration and books, the aid provided by PRUMA has supported me throughout my entire collegiate experience. Now that I am serving in the United States Marine Corps money is even tighter and your financial assistance is appreciated even more. This coming May I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice from Sacramento State University. I would like to thank the Puerto Rican Union of Mutual Aid and all of its members once again for choosing to help finance my college endeavors and for continuing to make education a priority. God Bless!
Sincerely,
PFC Zachary Pagán

To everyone at PRUMA,
I would like to sincerely thank you for the scholarship and let you know how much it helped me out right now. Without this scholarship I would have had a hard time picking up all the books and supplies I needed for this semester. I hope to attend more functions in the coming year than I have been able to in the past and look forward to helping out PRUMA whenever I can. Once again, thank you and please continue to support education for the youth in our community.
Sincerely yours,
Christopher Pagán

Dear PRUMA members and Western Region Puerto Rican Council,
I would like to thank you so very much for the scholarship that I received from you and for inviting me to the scholarship banquet, I had a lovely time and danced the night away.
About a month ago it was time to buy my school books. My jaw dropped when I saw that one book alone would cost me $130.00! All together I had to buy eight books. If it weren’t for my PRUMA scholarship I would be in a considerable amount of debt right now. I am grateful, more than you know for the money. I look forward to the day when I can help a younger Puerto Rican as you have helped me.
Sincerely,
Amanda Marie Pagán

Dear Mr. Pagán:
I wish to express my sincere gratitude to you, the board and members of the Puerto Rican Union of Mutual Aid. It is an extreme privilege to be one of the recipients of the Ramon Berrios Scholarship. This scholarship is very much appreciated as it will help with my costs at M.I.T. I promise to honor Mr. Berrios' memory in my professional career and personal life.
Best regards,

Hello,
I just would like to thank PRUMA for providing me with a scholarship this year. A good education cost a lot of money these days and PRUMA has helped me be able to afford one.
Thank you so much and God Bless all of you and your families.
Thank you

On Saturday, September 8, WRPRC along with three of the participating Puerto Rican clubs hosted the annual Scholarship Award Banquet at the PRUMA Center. PRUMA took the lead and Clifford Pagán and Anita Valteau put together one of the most successful Scholarship events in a long time. The center was decorated nicely and we have Rena Giel to thank once again for her help and support. The food was catered by our very own Natividad Feliciano and her family and it was outstanding! The music was performed by Conjunto Alegre and we had a blast. There was a Salsa dance contest and many raffle prizes were awarded.
This year with the help of you, the membership, PRUMA raised $5000.00 for our scholarship fund. We gave out five scholarships of $600.00 to Christopher Pagán, Gabriela Sierra Alonso, Amanda Pagán, Franklin Callazo and Leticia Pagán. In addition, we want to congratulate Monique Williams, Zachary Pagan and Mathew Rodriguez who all won a $300.00 PRUMA Scholarship.
We want to thank the WRPRC for sponsoring the event and the San Jose and Modesto clubs for their participation and help in making this event so special.
