Higher education appeals to many students, but not all have the same opportunities for educational attainment. 

Students facing financial difficulties, those from minority backgrounds, and those who are the first in their families to attend college have to push through more challenges than many of their peers. Without family or community guidance, help, and financial assistance, higher education can be incredibly daunting and a difficult sphere to navigate.

This scholarship seeks to support Latino students who are working hard to overcome obstacles and pursue their dreams of college. 

Any Latino high school or undergraduate student who is a first or second-generation college student may apply for this scholarship opportunity.

To apply, tell us how your background has affected your educational journey. Additionally, upload a family photo.
