Durham Tech student Juan-Pablo Quintanilla Ha began his interest in the Fidelity Scholars program during high school, when a guidance counselor shared information on the program.
“After learning about the Fidelity program from a high school counselor of mine, I researched the program and found I was a fit because of my Latino-Asian descent, but also because of my academic excellence and it helped that I am a go-getter,” said Ha, who was one of the Durham Tech students selected for the program. “I was then all about the program and how it could help me get a college education.”
Ha saw Fidelity’s program as a way to receive money for college, but quickly learned it was much more.

It was October 2014 when Durham Tech hosted three Latino Student Success Focus groups to solicit input from the Latino student population. The sessions resulted in a group of five students forming a new student club called Cambiando Caminos, or Changing Paths.
The club was officially formed in January 2015 and has been on a mission to strengthen the identity and presence of Latino students at Durham Tech while providing a sense of place and belonging.
Former club president, Bryan Rodriguez, joined Cambiando Caminos in 2018 as a new student.
“As a Hispanic, I felt welcomed with open arms and in an environment that allowed me to explore the world around me and to be happy about being a Hispanic,” he said. “This club I feel like is a home for me and something that everyone deserves to experience. At the end of the day Cambiando Caminos is a club that changed me into being a better man.”
