Hannah Mendiola, a Bachelor of Business Administration major at the University of Guam, is the first recipient of the Dr. Karri Perez Entrepreneurial Scholarship.
The $1,000 award is a memorial scholarship established by the family of Dr. Perez, a long-serving faculty member at the university's School of Business and Public Administration who passed away last January.


Karri Perez's husband, Gerald Perez said during the presentation, "She was so passionately supportive of individuality, entrepreneurship, and self-reliance, so it was in that spirit that we established this scholarship." The scholarship was specifically for students with an interest in entrepreneurship and a minimum GPA of 2.5. Mendiola is a former student of Perez.
