This scholarship is more than financial support—it’s a tribute to the hard work, sacrifice, and strength of Laborer families across Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico.
Last year, we awarded over $710,000 to 138 students—our biggest year yet. And after another record-breaking year of fundraising, we’re proud to be offering even more in 2025.
