Who Can Apply:
- Cesar was a beloved child: imaginative, creative, talented, as well as sensitive and kind, who passed away too soon after a struggle with his mental health.
- Unfortunately, the discrimination and cruelty that many transgender people are exposed to from a young age can have an impact on their mental health, raising the risk of suicide.

- This scholarship aims to honor Cesar’s life by supporting transgender students who are pursuing higher education despite the obstacles they are facing.
- Any transgender high school or undergraduate student with financial need may apply for this scholarship.
