Puerto Rican Scholarships

We honor the American families whose history began beyond our borders.

Proud of your Puerto Rican heritage? You should be!

Cultural backgrounds represent more than just a country or birthplace—they reveal a family's history, a way of life, and a unique upbringing. With your ethnicity, you carry a story into the future that's thousands of years in the making.
