Southwest Airlines Awards 185 Students with Air Travel Through ¡Lánzate!/Take Off! Higher Education Travel Award Program | LUV Stock News
In partnership with the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, the airline celebrates 20 years of connecting students to their families through travel
“Twenty years ago, Southwest Airlines identified an opportunity to support students’ ability to maintain family ties while studying far away from home,” said Laura Nieto, Managing Director Corporate Responsibility at Southwest Airlines. “Through scholarships, educational awards, STEM-focused learning, and meaningful careers, Southwest is committed to encouraging students as their dreams take flight.”
Southwest is proud of the program and the achievements of its students, including graduations, fruitful careers, and graduate degrees, all while balancing family responsibilities from afar.
“Because of your organization’s work, I’ll see my family in a week,” said Isabella, 2024 ¡Lánzate!/Take Off! Higher Education Travel Award recipient. “I’m so excited to see my little cousins (and how much they’ve grown), my grandparents (hopefully I can convince my grandma to make mole), and of course my mom (in-person this time). Without this award, I would have to wait until Christmas to see my family.”
