Meet Our Top Four 2021 Scholarship Recipients!
Edwin Vargas Navarro
- Vista
- University of California Berkeley
- My experience at the Fair has been a phenomenal growth experience. I am deeply appreciative of my immigrant parents’ sacrifices raising nine children. This amazing scholarship will enable me to attend my dream school, become a math teacher, and show that the long hours my father worked in the strawberry fields were not in vain.
Kylie Konyn
- Escondido
- University of Wisconsin, Madison
- I am a lifetime 4-H member and give my whole self to my club, community, country, and world. I feel privileged to know I will earn a B.S. in Animal Science, secure an advanced degree, and contribute to the growth and utilization of genetic and nutritional information in the agriculture industry. Thank you, Don Diego!
Juancarlos Cigarrero
- Solana Beach
- San Diego State University
- The Fair was my first job. My father and mother work tirelessly doing manual labor with selflessness and tenacity. Being raised in a low-income household to immigrant parents motivated me to develop a ‘can-do’ attitude that guides my life. I am proud to be a first-generation college student and help break my family’s cycle of poverty.
Alexander Poroy
- Encinitas
- Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
- Winning first place in the Student Showcase for my architectural design taught me how it feels to be passionate about a project and made me well-rounded. This Don Diego scholarship will help me immensely as I pursue an MBA and fulfill the potential that businesses have to change the world for the better.
