Enrique Castillo Educational Scholarship
Enrique Castillo truly had a passion for education and believed it should be afforded to everyone. As a first generation graduate, Enrique became an educator to ensure people from underserved communities received their fair share of opportunities.
Growing up, Enrique was surrounded by a loving family. His father was a miner, and his mother was a homemaker raising 11 children. Although bright and curious, Enrique had always assumed he’d work in the cooper mines, however a 4th grade teacher recognized his interest in language and encouraged him to pursue his education. Through his mentors encouragement Enrique’s life and education became intertwined.
Enrique went on to study English, History, and Education at Northern Arizona University. After marrying his college sweetheart and starting his career as a teacher, he went on to complete his Master’s degree.
In whatever role Enrique took on throughout his career, he devoted his life to encouraging others to pursue their education and their dreams.
This scholarship seeks to honor Enrique’s legacy and passion to promote higher education for all by awarding two BIPOC, first generation students who plan to earn a degree in English, History, or Education.
