Description:
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. 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.
Use this scholarship as an opportunity to 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. Discuss your background and family life, particularly touching on your experiences growing up in a single-family household. Let these images speak of your resilience and hope.
Requirements:
- High school senior, undergraduate, or trade school student
