Scholarships for immigrant students 2025

You can empower Latino youth through education! Latinos have the lowest college attainment when compared to Black and White people. The Latino Racial Justice Circle (LRJC) has narrowed this opportunity gap by giving college scholarships to Latino youth. Read what some of our previous awardees had to say and consider donating to the LRJC education fund:

“This scholarship not only granted me financial relief, but this relief translated into many areas of my life this semester. I had the privilege of working 25 hours a week rather than 40, a significant amount of time I now had to focus more on academics, hobbies, and community affairs that I had to leave behind when I began my undergraduate career. With this scholarship, I was able to maintain my title as an exceptional scholar, earning a 4.0 GPA this semester!”

“This scholarship helped alleviate some of the cost of this past semester allowing me to worry less about the cost of tuition this semester and rather my classes and making sure I was able to complete my homework as I had lots of projects and exams to complete as homework assignments this semester.”

With these testimonies in mind, we invite all of you to join us for the LRJC educational fundraiser on Saturday May 10th at 1:30 p.m. This year’s fundraiser will be a festive afternoon of Lotería at Abbott Memorial Presbyterian Church in Baltimore’s Highlandtown neighborhood. As quite a few of you already know, Lotería is a traditional Mexican board game that is similar to bingo but played with cards instead of numbered balls.

A large share of the proceeds from this upcoming event will help fund LRJC scholarships. Please be a part of this community-focused effort to support college students as they each pursue their dreams of the best, biggest, and brightest lives imaginable!
