Scholarship Winner: Juan Parra-Linares

Congratulations Juan Parra-Linares, from Northside High School!

For the third year in a row, Texas Mattress Makers is a proud sponsor of KPRC’s Senior Scholarship Program!

This week’s Senior Scholarship Winner is Juan Parra-Linares! We joined KPRC earlier this week to surprise Juan with a $2,500 scholarship. He is ranked 10th in his class at Northside High School.

Additionally, Juan balances his school work with working part time at a restaurant as a shift manager. Most recently he has even been interning at a local law firm. Juan said that learning to manage his time but that a program called Genesys Works helped him with training and developing professional skills. After graduation Juan plans on attending Sam Houston University to study criminal justice. We can’t wait to see what Juan achieves in the future! Congratulations and keep up the great work!

Be sure to catch this program and keep up with all of our winners every Wednesday during the 6 AM and 11 AM news on KPRC, Channel 2!

All winners have been nominated by their school. If you are interested in learning more about the selection process, you can contact KPRC here.
