Dulce Vida First Generation Scholarship
Lifting up future generations is crucial in giving them the resources they need to discover their ambitions and pursue their goals.
First-generation students in particular often face struggles when it comes to pursuing a college degree. First-generation students often face difficult financial backgrounds due to not having a family background in education, which often limits their career options. As a result, many first-generation students know firsthand what it’s like to feel the burden of not having the funds necessary to complete a semester.
This scholarship seeks to support first-generation students so they can continue to go after their dreams despite their financial limitations.
Any first-generation undergraduate student at the University of Texas at San Antonio may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have at least a 3.0 GPA.
To apply, tell us what advice you would give to another first-generation college student and why you would share that specific guidance.
