Last year, a group of caring educators decided that the best way to assist their undocumented (non-U.S. citizen) students with college and financial aid information was to establish the Association of Raza Educators Scholarship Fund. These Educators recognized that many of their brightest students were not eligible for federal financial aid or many scholarships because of their citizenship status. They realized the need to provide funding and more scholarship opportunities for some of their students; regardless of their citizenship status.

Last year, a group of caring educators decided that the best way to assist their undocumented (non-U.S. citizen) students with college and financial aid information was to establish the Association of Raza Educators Scholarship Fund.

They realized the need to provide funding and more scholarship opportunities for some of their students; regardless of their citizenship status.
The Association of Raza Educators (ARE) believes that all students deserve an opportunity to attend college without discrimination of any kind. The ARE Scholarship Fund will assist students realize their dreams of a college education. In our first year, we provided over $10,000 in scholarships. This year we hope to double last year’s goal and raise $20,000.
Latinos are the largest ethnic minority in the United States and the fastest growing segment of the population. Yet, Latinos rank among the lowest in high school graduation rates and among the lowest in attending four year universities. Regardless of how much federal and state financial aid Latino students receive, a large segment of the Latino community will not be able to receive the financial assistance that they need due to their undocumented status.
Given these facts, the Association of Raza Educators hopes you and/or your company can assist us in our endeavor of providing scholarship opportunities to the best and the brightest students the Latino community can offer.
Please join our efforts by sponsoring and/or attending our first fundraiser of the year. Ticket Prices and Sponsorship opportunities are provided below.
