Latino Scholarship Fund

The Latino Scholarship Fund, Inc., was founded in 1994 by a group concerned that less than 20 percent of Danbury High School’s Latino graduates were going on to higher education. That was the lowest percentage of any ethnic group within the graduating class. To date the Latino Scholarship Fund, Inc. has raised and awarded more than $980,000 in scholarship money to more than 550 Latino high school graduates throughout the Greater Danbury area.

Application for this scholarship is open to Latino high school seniors attending high school & residing in Fairfield County Connecticut or the Town of New Milford, Connecticut. As a matter of policy, a “Latino” shall be defined as any person at least one of whose parents and/or grandparents were born in any of the recognized Spanish speaking countries.
