YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) - The Helios Education Foundation awards $500,000 to Arizonans, including seven locals from Yuma County.

The seven Yuma recipients are:

  • Anjuly Gomez Calderon
  • Leeza Jones
  • Sheccid Ortiz
  • Damara Rodriguez
  • Yaquelin Garcia
  • Daniela Limon
  • Vladimir Gurrola

Each person received up to $20,000 for their education.

"Our journey over the past two decades would not have been possible without the numerous partners we've collaborated with over the years," said Vince Roig, the founding board chair of Helios Education Foundation. "Our commitment to ensuring postsecondary success for all students remains just as strong as it was when we began — and will continue for generations to come."

Helios has invested millions to recipients across Arizona.
