2025 Travel Grant Recipients

Ava (Daniell) Moreno, Salinas High School

“Traveling to Japan will be a transformative experience. It will not only give me a direct insight into the culture I’ve dedicated years of my life studying, but also a chance for me to apply what I’ve been learning for 4 years straight into real action. With my passion, I hope to be able to broaden my horizons.”

Sherly Vega, Salinas High School

Ava and Sherly will be traveling to Japan this summer with New Perspectives Japan
