Sandy Eggo's Future Humanitarians Scholarship
Empathy and kindness are the heartbeats of community, and they are essential to building a safe and compassionate future for us all.
Students who are driven by a passion for social justice, immigration, and humanitarian work are the change-makers we need. They hold the power to address the urgent issues of our time and build a brighter, more inclusive tomorrow. While the world may seem vast, we are all deeply connected, and many of the challenges we face are intertwined. Understanding the root causes of these struggles and working together to create solutions is the path forward for the next generation of leaders.
This scholarship is dedicated to supporting students who are not just pursuing their education but dedicating their lives to making the world a kinder, more just place for everyone. We believe in their potential to create lasting change, and we stand beside them in their journey to transform our world for the better.
Any underrepresented minority high school, undergraduate, or graduate student who is a resident of San Diego, California, may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they have non-profit or volunteering experience and if they’re a first-generation college student.
