"Si Se Puede" Scholarship Fund

I want to create the "Si se Puede" scholarship fund to support Latinx students in financing their college education. Despite the increasing college graduation rates among Latinx students, they still face significant barriers to higher education, including financial challenges. According to the Pew Research Center, the college enrollment rate for Hispanic students in the U.S. has been rising, reaching 36% in 2019 compared to 22% in 1993. By providing financial assistance through this scholarship, we can help alleviate the economic burden, enabling more Latinx students to complete their degrees and pursue their dreams. This will not only benefit the individual students but also contribute to the broader goal of increasing diversity and representation in higher education and the workforce.
