Latino Endowed Scholarship

The Latino Scholarship was endowed in 2000 to alleviate the financial burdens of an Occidental education for incoming Latino/a students. Today, Oxy’s annual tuition and expenses are over $40,000 -- a significant amount for students from low-income families, many of whom are the first in their family to attend college. Thanks to current supporters of the fund, Oxy awarded a scholarship to another deserving student in the 2008 - 2009 academic year. He is a dedicated student, active in MEChA/ALAS and Oxy Soccer, and is the first person in his family to attend a four-year college. These experiences at Oxy would not be possible for him without the generous support of alumni, parents, and friends like you. Please make a gift today to the Latino/a Endowed Scholarship Fund to maintain our ability to support such deserving students.
