De Los Santos Family Scholarship
This scholarship was established by the De Los Santos family, a group of first-generation Filipino-American cousins born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. They are bound by their love of family, appreciation for their heritage and culture, gratitude for the blessings and opportunities afforded to them, and their desire to give back to the communities around them. Education serves as a means to broaden understanding and to open up opportunities for advancement.
Minority students in America often face many challenges throughout their educational journeys that can be discouraging or difficult to push through.
This scholarship seeks to support Filipino-American students who share the same values and connection to their heritage and who demonstrate diligence, determination, and a drive to contribute positively to their communities.
Any Filipino-American high school senior who has at least a 3.0 GPA and will graduate in 2025 may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
To apply, tell us about the most significant challenge you’ve faced, how you overcame it, and how this experience affected your academic achievement. Additionally, tell us how your Filipino-American identity has impacted your sense of purpose in life.
