The CABA Foundation recently awarded scholarships to 16 law students at its annual reception at the law offices of Rivero Mestre in Coral Gables.

The Foundation awarded a total of $64,000 in scholarships with eight applicants receiving $5,000 and another eight applicants receiving $3,000. This is the highest amount awarded to date. The Cuban American Bar Association’s 50th anniversary gala fundraising and contributions this year made the scholarships possible.
