The Bol\u00edvar Community has always been bound together by a deep love for our school. One alumna who embodied this spirit was Mar\u00eda del Pilar P\u00e9rez de Cardozo<\/strong> (Class of 1974), affectionately known as \u201cPal\u00e1.\u201d As founder and first president of the Alumni Association, Pal\u00e1 left an unforgettable mark on all our hearts. Her passion, commitment, and joy continue to inspire us.<\/p>

Following her passing in 2005, the Alumni Association created the Mar\u00eda del Pilar P\u00e9rez Scholarship<\/strong> in her memory. This annual university grant of USD $2,500<\/strong> is awarded to a top-performing graduate in the top 25% of their class at Colegio Bol\u00edvar.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This scholarship not only honors Pal\u00e1\u2019s legacy; it symbolizes the everlasting bond between those who were shaped by these classrooms and those just beginning their journey. It is our chance to give back\u2014to reach out to those who follow in our footsteps.<\/p>
