Education is an important part of our mission, and we have made it a priority to aid and encourage our Latino youth to pursue higher education. We realize the cost of college can be a major financial barrier to higher education for Latino youth and as part of our education effort we are proud to offer scholarships to Latino high school graduating seniors intending to pursue a course of study as a bilingual educator. Our scholarship application process opens every March. Recipients are selected by April and celebrated at our annual Scholarship Gala.
