We are delighted to have such outstanding recipients for the first Banco Guipuzcoano scholarships. The Banco Guipuzcoano of San Sebastián, Guipúzcoa, established the scholarship this year in order to facilitate the study of Basque culture by American Basques studying on the USAC San Sebastián program. Each of the scholarships carries a stipend of approximately $2,200. Our sincerest appreciation goes out to the Banco Guipuzcoano and our congratulations to Ms. Bilbao and Ms. Inda.
