LONGVIEW, Texas — Students, teachers and families alike gathered in Lobo Coliseum for a ceremony to honor students for scholarship money they've earned. Longview Scholarship Coordinator Kay Ray says these students have earned more than $7 million in scholarships.
"A lot of these scholarships today will be as little as $250 and as much as $4,000 or $10,000," Ray said.
Kate Pimentel and Cooper Mayes are two of dozens of students rewarded with scholarships. But it didn't come easily. Both applied to many different ones.
