Bienvenido 1776 Education Fund

This year, our 1776 education fund will award up to $10,000 to exceptional scholars to lessen the financial burden on Latino students. In addition, we pledge to empower recipients of the 1776 scholarship by offering support services including mentorship and leadership development in their respective fields of study. 

Our 1776 scholarship fund was designed to highlight the need for patriotic education and reward students that understand the importance of celebrating America’s founding and remembering the actions of the men and women who drove to build America s a shining “city on a hill”.
