The Latino Trendsetter Awards are given by LatinTRENDS Magazine (formerly DTM Magazine) to people that have achieved by doing – to those who have taken on the job, project, cause or challenge and making things happen for themselves, their families and their communities. It’s the people that choose to be part of the solution, not the problem. They are the ones who dare to be a little unconventional if need be – they help define trends that influence both the mainstream and the Latino/Hispanic culture – they are men & women that maintain high levels of standards through their actions and deeds. In keeping with our support of tomorrow’s trendsetters, the Latino Trendsetter Awards also awards scholarships to college students in the CUNY system – this year, as in every other, a portion of the proceeds will be given to the scholarship fund for deserving CUNY students.
This year’s scholarship winners will be made up by a group of young Latinas who are part of the 100 Hispanic Women leadership program.
