Receiving an education is often the best way to climb out of poverty and achieve a better life.

However, with college now costing an average of $35,551 per year, it’s difficult or even impossible for many low-income students to afford higher education and unlock the future of their dreams without becoming buried in debt.

This scholarship aims to support low-income Hispanic students so they have the resources necessary to afford college.

Any low-income Hispanic or Latinx high school senior in New York may apply for this scholarship.
