Changemakers United States: Telacu

Fidel didn’t see a pathway to college until he found a PepsiCo Foundation scholarship. Now he’s a leader in Corporate Affairs and mentoring the next generation at PepsiCo.

After graduating high school, Fidel had to work two and three jobs to make ends meet. Once he earned a college degree with the support of a PepsiCo Foundation-funded scholarship through Telacu, everything changed. Now that he’s found career success as a Corporate Affairs leader at PepsiCo, he’s helping the next generation grow their careers as a mentor to others in the Hispanic community.
