In days of slavery one of the ways to keep people depressed was by not educating them.
Nowadays receiving education is one of the greatest benefits, and by receiving it we have the responsibility of being able to transmit it. This is the main purpose of the Dominican Day Parade.
Dominican Day Parade Scholarship Awards 2018-2019
The Parade announced fifty-two winners of a total of $200,000 in scholarships awarded to promising students of Dominican descent across the United States.
You are Dominican-American. Never forget where you come from. Do great things for your self, your family, your community and your country. Be proud, very proud of who you are. We are very proud of you. You are our future.
