Minorities - Latino Economic Development Center

Latino entrepreneurs, community leaders, local foundations, and local businesses have come together to develop a scholarship fund aimed at supporting talented, aspiring Latino students who would like to build their future through higher education. By providing youth the opportunity everyone deserves in the United States, we create a thriving multicultural community full of business, cultural and civic leaders. The LEDC Latino Scholarship Fund was created to help students attend a public college or university or other not-for-profit post-secondary educational institution for undergraduate study.
