Testimonials
"Wingate University has partnered with LAWA for many years, and I have personally had the privilege to work with LAWA for a couple of years organizing one stop of their high school series program. LAWA has demonstrated a strong commitment to opening doors to ensure that every student, particularly local Hispanic students, has equal access to educational opportunities. Their thoughtfully selected programs play a pivotal role in providing invaluable guidance for Hispanic students and their families as they navigate all stages of the college application process. Over the years, I have been a witness to several students who attended LAWA's High School series events and later returned to Wingate as an incoming student, showing that LAWA's efforts help students pursue their dreams of higher education.
In conclusion, being a part of LAWA's High School Series has been incredibly rewarding, and I look forward to continuing to work together to lay the foundation for students' future.”
