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.
