ASCENDER
Scholarship Fund
At LatinXedu, we believe in helping Latinx people realize their hopes and dreams through further education.
To help more students get to school, we created the Ascender Scholarship as a way to award students who best articulate their past achievements and what they hope to accomplish in the future.
To maintain the Ascender Scholarship, we put a percentage of all our fundraising efforts into our scholarship fund.
