Rick Ross awards scholarships to local students

The ceremony, held at Miami Norland Senior High's auditorium, started with speeches from the mayor of Miami Gardens and school board members, all encouraging these young students to achieve everything and anything they put their minds to.

The scholarships, totaling $10,000, will go toward the students' college tuition
