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.
