Marriott International in partnership with the National Urban League Young Professionals (NULYPs) and the National Council of La Raza Lideres Initiative recently awarded 25 scholarships to NULYP and Lideres leaders. Each of the scholarship recipients were selected based on their service hours to their local communities and endorsements received by their peers.
The scholarships were created to help NULYP and Lideres members attend the National Urban League and the National Council of La Raza Conferences respectively.
