This year the Walton Scholars from three different universities in Arkansas celebrated the 25 anniversary of the program.
A special event at the Walmart Headquarters in Bentonville, AR., gave students from Harding University, John Brown University and the University of the Ozarks the chance to met with representatives of the Walton Foundation. They also had the opportunity to meet with Jim Walton, son of Wal-Mart's founder Sam Walton.
However, more than talking about this event, some Walton Scholars shared with me what they think is the importance of the scholarship they have been granted with.

The Walton Scholarship was founded in 1985. Its objective is to bring students from Central America and Mexico to the United States, in order to provide them with a college education while teaching them the advantages of the free enterprise and the democratic society.
