Association of Raza Educators Scholarship Fund
>
> On September 15th 2006, during an after school conversation, a group of
> caring educators decided that the best way to assist their 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.
>
> 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 hope to provide over
> $10,000 in scholarships.
>
> 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.
