“I applied to WAEF... a great organization with great people.”
Neftali Garcia graduated from Washington State University in 2020 and encourages students to take advantage of every scholarship opportunity available. He believes scholarships can help students enjoy their college experience while graduating with less financial stress. “I applied to WAEF, of course, a great organization with great people,” Neftali said. “You meet great mentors and great people just in general, and they’re able to help you even if you don’t get a scholarship.” Through WAEF, Neftali found valuable resources, mentors, and opportunities to learn more about the tree fruit industry and beyond. He encourages students to apply for any scholarships they may be eligible for, especially those that often go overlooked.
