The Socorro Hispano Chamber of Commerce Monday awarded a $1,000 scholarship to Socorro High School senior Michael Mora.

Michael, son of Virginia and Isidora Mora, will be attending New Mexico Highlands University next fall, with an interest in forestry and rangeland studies.

Chamber President Frank Jaramillo said he remembered Michael from the third grade.

“This is the first scholarship we’ve given out and it couldn’t go to a more qualified student,” Jaramillo said.
