Deborah Graham Memorial Scholarship

The Deborah Graham Memorial Scholarship, which is presented annually by the Friends of the Belen Public Library, was given to four Belen area high school students. The winners receive a $1,000 check made payable to the college of their choice to go toward their continuing education.

Three of this year’s winners come from Belen High School — Tanya Padilla, who will attend New Mexico State University and will study aerospace; Sierra Gabaldon, who will attend The University of New Mexico-Valencia and will study graphic design; and Natalie Martinez, who will attend NMSU to be a physical therapist. Mia Guest, who graduated from Cannon Christian Academy in Belen, will attend Colorado Christian University and will enter the field of medicine.
