In 2012, St. Augustine and its rare Constitution Monument will play a major role in the 200th anniversary of the Spanish Constitution promulgated on March 19, 1812. 2013 is the 500th Anniversary of Ponce de Leon's discovery and naming of La Florida and it was near Ponte Vedra on Florida's Historic Coast where he came ashore. In 2015, St. Augustine will celebrate its 450th birthday and focus new attention on Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles who founded the city.

It is fittingly appropriate that Evelyn Vazquez, an experienced Hispanic professional, should play a role in these momentous celebrations. Read more >>

"Achieving the Dream" Success Stories

Share in the success stories of our past recipients of the "Achieving the Dream" scholarship!

"Hola Ed.
It was so nice seeing you yesterday. I was very happy to talk with you again. Yesterday I didn't have the opportunity to let you know that right now I am part of a juried exhibition for emerging artists with disabilities. I am the grand prize winner in this exhibition entitled "Momentum". which opened September 7 at the S. Dillon Ripley Center in Washington DC. Here is a link about the exhibition.

I really want to let you know that I am trying my best to achieve my goals and I sincerely want to thank you for being an inspiration to me.
Saludos, - Dimelza Broche
