    Carolina Hernandez-Acosta

    Dear 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, First, I would like to thank the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation for rewarding hardworking high school graduates in the Lubbock area with this memorable scholarship. I am incredibly grateful for the organization’s initiative in making this fund possible for my education. My name is Carolina Hernandez-Acosta. I am a Lubbock local—born and raised—and I am elated to be continuing my academic journey at Texas Tech University. I graduated from Lubbock High School in May 2025, earning my high school diploma and the IB Diploma. Throughout my four interesting years of high school, I enjoyed running for the varsity girls' track and cross country teams the most and volunteering in various activities through the National Honor Society as the Historian. I am thrilled to continue searching for empowering communities like those at Texas Tech. Starting college is an incredible achievement, and I’ve always known I wanted to major in Cell & Molecular Biology. At the moment, I’m considering a double minor in Psychology and American Sign Language, but of course, we’ll see where the wind takes me. Medical school is a dream of mine, as I hope to pursue a career in mental healthcare, such as neurology or psychiatry. Once again, I cannot express enough gratitude for this scholarship, as it takes me one step closer to reaching my dreams with more confidence and ability. Sincerely, Carolina Hernandez-Acosta

With your support, I feel empowered to work toward my dream of a career in sports broadcasting, sharing the excitement and stories of the games I love with others. As someone who grew up in Lubbock County and has always admired the power of sports to bring people together, this opportunity inspires me to one day give back to my own community.

    Dear 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, I’m truly honored and grateful to be chosen for the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation – Kansas City Area Scholarship. It means so much to me that my hard work in academics, athletics, and community service has been recognized by such an incredible organization. I admire how your foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of children by supporting health, wellness, and communities that need resources the most. The work you do goes far beyond financial support—it gives hope, encouragement, and opportunity to so many young people who might otherwise face significant challenges. Knowing there are people and organizations like yours investing in our futures is inspiring and motivating. This scholarship lifts a huge financial burden off my shoulders and allows me to focus fully on my studies in Radiologic Technology. Without this support, juggling the costs of college alongside everything else would be overwhelming. Thanks to your generosity, I have the freedom to concentrate on learning, growing, and continuing my commitment to volunteerism and community service. Giving back has always been important to me—whether mentoring local youth, coaching sports, or supporting individuals with disabilities. I believe that compassion and service are powerful ways to make a difference, and I’m excited to bring that same mindset into my future healthcare career. Your foundation’s example of dedication to uplifting others inspires me to keep that spirit alive in everything I do. Thank you for believing in me and for providing this life-changing opportunity. Your support not only helps me financially but also encourages me to keep striving toward my goals and to one day pay forward the kindness and generosity you’ve shown me. With heartfelt thanks and appreciation, Taylor McKenzie

Your belief in students who are dedicated to making a difference in their communities means so much to me, and I truly appreciate your support.

My passion for volunteering and helping others is something my family has always valued, and I’m excited to continue this legacy as I pursue my degree in Applied Behavioral Science and Child Life Specialist certification. I know that the investment you’ve made in my education will have a ripple effect, lifting up the children and families I’ll have the privilege to support in the years ahead. I deeply admire your commitment to giving back and creating opportunities for young people in Kansas City and beyond. Your dedication to uplifting underserved communities inspires me to keep working toward my goal of helping others, both at home and abroad. Thank you for your generosity and for believing in my potential. I can’t wait to pay forward the kindness you’ve shown me and to make a lasting impact in the lives of the children I’ll serve.

    Dear 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for being chosen as a recipient of the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation – Lubbock County Scholarship. I can’t even find the words to express the sincere gratitude I have for being granted this award. This award will ease any worries about tuition for my first year of college. It will allow me to solely focus on academics as well as athletics. As a student studying finance and a member of the track team, I will be under constant stress throughout the year. But thanks to this award, a great majority of my stress will be relieved. The past few months have been extremely hard for me and my family. This award was a blessing that will help us as I move into this new chapter of my life. The 15 and the Mahomies Foundation not only helped me with college expenses but also supported my family in unfathomable ways. As my freshman year gets underway, I am eager to start learning and developing skills that will eventually help me become successful. The 15 and the Mahomies Foundation gave me a jumpstart to my career that I will forever be grateful for. I hope that one day I am able to repay others and give back just as the 15 and the Mahomies Foundation did for me and many others! Thank you, Gunnar Stanton
