An expansion of a highly successful TAMIU Literacy Enrichment Center program for elementary school students that strengthens reading and writing skills will happen thanks to a generous grant totaling $300,000 from the Trustees of the Lamar Bruni Vergara Trust. Over 100 local high school students who recently participated in the TAMIU ‘Reach Higher’ College Commitment Signing Day signed a commitment certificate promising to not only complete high school but to continue on to earn a higher education degree.
