Stanislaus State senior Ciera Demi Soliz has overcome many financial hurdles in her life and as a recipient of this year’s California State University Trustees’ Award for Outstanding Achievement, she is definitely showing no signs of slowing down. As the CSU’s highest recognition of student achievement, this award is given to one student from each of the CSU’s 23 campuses who demonstrate superior academic performance, personal accomplishments, community service and financial needs. “With all the financial needs I’ve had throughout my life, I wouldn’t be here without the help of scholarships like this,” said Soliz. ”“Receiving this award showed me that if I continue to strive hard and keep going in the face of hardship, it will ultimately pay off and everything is going to be okay in the end.”
