UTEP President Heather Wilson along with the Secretary of Education and Sports of the State of Chihuahua, Sandra Elena Gutiérrez Fiero, signed a memorandum of understanding at the President’s Conference Room on the UTEP campus. 

The signing of this memorandum renews the scholarships of some of Chihuahuas top students to attend UTEP.  

After signing the memorandum, President Wilson and Secretary Gutiérrez awarded Chihuahuan citizens, Raul Rojero and Andres Galvan scholarships to attend the university.  

Galvan expressed interest in using this scholarship to work towards a degree in music and Rojero towards a civil engineering degree.  

While over one thousand students commute daily to UTEP from Juarez, the signing signals UTEP’S continuing recognition of Mexico and the State of Chihuahua as partners in the University’s ongoing efforts to increase access to higher education for students of this region.
