Latino entrepreneurs, community leaders, foundations and local businesses have come together to develop a scholarship fund to support talented Latino students who aspire to build their future through higher education. The LEDC Latino Scholarship Fund was created to help these students continue their post-secondary studies.
In the early 1990s, a group of low-income entrepreneurs had the dream of starting a program that offered higher education opportunities to Latino students in economic conditions similar to theirs. Through this mission, many young people would have the possibility of fulfilling their dreams. For many years, Latino leaders from different areas of community development continued to work on this vision. Thanks to their hard work, the Latino Economic Development Center and its members were able to create the Latino Scholarship Fund (LSF). In 2006, LSF awarded its first two scholarships. Since then, every year this program has offered support through scholarships to the Latino community, thus promoting its development.
This scholarship is intended to facilitate college/university entry for high school and General Education Diploma (GED) students who have been accepted to a post-secondary institution program and to help students already enrolled in college/university.
Stay tuned for updates on future application deadlines.
