Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

I have been a public school teacher for 13 years working mostly in high need, Title 1 high schools. Currently, I work at an Academy for Arts & Language High School where the majority of the students belong to low-income immigrant families. These students have faced many academic, social, and financial obstacles in their lives but with their determination and motivation, they were able to succeed academically. As an incentive for their accomplishments, in 2014, I established an Academic and Leadership Scholarship to provide scholarship for a few of our graduating high school seniors.

My Project

I am requesting your financial support in sending more of these students on the right path.

This scholarship is earned based on individual merit.

In order to receive this scholarship, students must fulfill the following requirements:

enrollment in a two or four year college in the upcoming school year

demonstration of academic achievement toward their college studies

demonstration of leadership skills shown through participating and collaborating in extracurricular activities in building a service community among his/her peers

With your financial support, I am hoping the Scholarship will help at least two to four deserving students receive laptops.

In anticipation,I thank you in advance for helping our future generation.
