Mariner alumnus wants to offer scholarships, regardless of citizenship

EVERETT — In 2011, Jonnathan Yepez Carino was a senior at Mariner High School. He wanted to go to Seattle Pacific University and become a psychologist.

But Carino, who emigrated from Mexico with his mother when he was 9, wasn’t a U.S. citizen. So he didn’t qualify for the Free Application for Federal Student Aid or most private scholarships.

“I knew for sure my parents would not be able to afford putting me through college,” Carino said.

Now Carino wants to provide three $5,000 scholarships for Latinx students who had similar experiences. He has already raised $2,595, and he’s prepared to donate $2,000 of his own money.
