The LBSA alumni established the LBSA Fund Scholarship to support students of Hispanic/Latino heritage and those committed to uplifting under-served communities in their pursuit of professional skills and careers. All scholarships are funded entirely by alumni contributions and represent the alumni’s commitment to LBSA’s vision.

A committee of LBSA alumni will review applications and select the scholarship recipients. For the LBSA & Community Scholarship, the committee will award at least one “Soledad Voss Scholarship” of $2,000, and at least three $1,000 scholarships. Last year we awarded 11 scholarships totaling $15,000. The LBSA & Community Scholarship awards will be distributed in mid-August of 2020.
