Scholarship
Anything that we can do, big or small, to improve our communities we are willing. It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child. We believe that it takes that same village to support and strengthen itself to help bring about change. That is why we are such strong proponents of community service, it is our number one goal and driving purpose!
The Lydia Cruz & Sandra Maria Ramos Scholarship Fund was established March 1995. The scholarship is named after Darilis Garcia-McMillian's grandmother and Maria Victoria Ramos' sister. The two women chosen greatly influenced the lives of the Founding Mothers. The scholarship is awarded annually to a graduating high school Latina senior attending a two or four-year higher learning institution.

Famous quotes containing the word scholarship:
“American universities are organized on the principle of the nuclear rather than the extended family. Graduate students are grimly trained to be technicians rather than connoisseurs. The old German style of universal scholarship has gone.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
“The best hopes of any community rest upon that class of its gifted young men who are not encumbered with large possessions.... I now speak of extensive scholarship and ripe culture in science and art.... It is not large possessions, it is large expectations, or rather large hopes, that stimulate the ambition of the young.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The ceaseless, senseless demand for original scholarship in a number of fields, where only erudition is now possible, has led either to sheer irrelevancy, the famous knowing of more and more about less and less, or to the development of a pseudo- scholarship which actually destroys its object.”
—Hannah Arendt (1906–1975)
