Seymour Philippe Memorial Scholarship
Seymour Philippe was a beloved uncle who passed away too soon but lives on in the hearts of his family and friends.
Students of Latino and Caribbean descent often struggle to access higher education, with financial difficulties, language barriers, and/or first-generation status presenting hurdles that can stand in the way of degree attainment. These obstacles perpetuate a cycle of underrepresentation in academia and the professional workforce, which leaves students unable to pursue college and their career goals.
This scholarship aims to honor the memory of Seymour Philippe by supporting students of the Latino and Caribbean communities so they can earn their college degrees.
Any high school senior of Latino or Caribbean descent may apply for this scholarship opportunity if they will attend a two or four-year college after graduation.
To apply, tell us what your heritage means to you and why you’re passionate about attending college.
