The IAPA Scholarship enabled Montalvan, a Nicaraguan journalist, to study at the University of Tulane, New Orleans. He returned several times to the U.S. over the years to cover space launches at Cape Canaveral, Florida and for many years worked in broadcast journalism. He had a special connection with sports and physical education, distinguishing himself as an athlete and teaching students. This passion led him to found the newspaper El Deportivo, no longer published. He directed Radio Deportes and then was news director for Radio Universidad. He died in Managua in 1985.
