Who Can Apply:
- The Ojeda Multi-County Youth Scholarship is awarded to two deserving inner-city high school students.

- This scholarship aims to assist inner-city high school students so they can afford the costs of their tuition and books.
- Applicants must be of Hispanic or African American origin, and have a minimum 2.9 GPA to apply for this scholarship.
