Latin American Educational Foundation Scholarship (Colorado)

The Latin American Educational Foundation supports Colorado students who identify as Latino or are committed to serving the Latino community, including graduating high school seniors headed to a two-year school, four-year school, trade program, or certificate program. A 2.0 GPA or higher is required, along with a letter of recommendation. The award is open regardless of citizenship or documentation status, and several Colorado colleges add matching funds on top of the LAEF award.
