We attended a college prep symposium they held here at MVC last year) is awarding $1,000 scholarships to Latino students attending a community college or $2,500 scholarships to Latino students attending a 4-year university who meet the following eligibility criteria:
- Full-time enrollment in a United States Department of Education accredited community college, four-year university, or graduate/professional program during the period for which scholarship is requested
- Demonstrated financial need
- Consistent, active participation in public and/or community service activities
- Strong writing skills
- U.S. citizenship or legal permanent residency
