Giving back tocollege students

Montes believes giving backto the academic community,

the atmosphere thatspawned NERD, is animportant role for hiscompany. I formulated NERDThe Focus and EnergyBeverage to get me to ahigher level of education, andthats exactly what it did: Igot accepted into MedicalSchool. I want to share NERDwith other students to help

them the same way it helpedme. I want NERD BeverageCompany to be recognized asthe number one beverageinstitution that gives back tocollege students, saidMontes. In 2008, Montesbegan realizing his goal whenNERD gave away its first twoscholarships to collegestudents.

Montes also occasionallyspeaks in front of differentuniversity organizations who

have an interest inentrepreneurial businessstrategy. I never had theopportunity to learn aboutentrepreneurship when I wasin school; all they kept tellingme was to take a couple ofbusiness classes remarkedMontes. By presenting thatopportunity to students now,

we hope to continue a greatstart to our overarchingmission to give back to theacademic community.
