Chicano Federation Scholarship

The purpose of this scholarship is to support Southwestern College students who embrace advocacy as a means of improving the community. Applicants must be enrolled in 6 or more units, and demonstrate financial need, as determined by data on the student’s current FAFSA or Dream Act Application. A supplemental essay describing the issues in your community you wish to advocate for will be required.

The Chicano Federation’s mission is to invest in communities through programs that build resiliency and promote self-sufficiency. The organization has been at the forefront of promoting equity for aspiring communities for more than 50 years.
