Who Can Apply:
- Embarking on the journey of higher education is a bold and brave step, one that is filled with both excitement and challenges. It’s a path that demands determination, especially when financial hurdles loom large and threaten to derail dreams.
- For many Hispanic students, these challenges are all too familiar. The dream of college often remains just that—a dream—as financial constraints tighten their grip, limiting opportunities and perpetuating a cycle that keeps higher education just out of reach.
- This scholarship hopes to change that narrative. This scholarship is more than just financial aid; it’s a beacon of hope. It’s a commitment to break down the barriers that have held back so many bright, aspiring minds from low-income, single-parent families.This scholarship hopes to turn the tides and open doors that once seemed closed.
- Any high school senior or undergraduate student of Hispanic heritage who is from a single-parent, low-income household and displays academic potential and commitment to community service may apply for this scholarship opportunity.
Submission:
- Please share about your journey — the struggles you’ve faced, the triumphs you’ve celebrated, and the community that has shaped you. Your narrative is powerful, and it deserves to be heard.
- Please share a glimpse into your world: pictures of you, your loved ones, and the neighborhood that has been the backdrop to your life’s story. Let these images speak of your resilience and hope.
