Education (C.O.R.E.) – Que Llueva Café<br />
Scholarship<br />
This Scholarship was founded with the intent<br />
of providing a direct response to what is<br />
an unfair immigration system that continues<br />
to deprive aspiring new scholars from continuing<br />
their education in the only country<br />
they have ever known, the U.S. As such, we<br />
find it imperative to provide a scholarship<br />
that attempts to alleviate the enormous<br />
financial burden of going to college until<br />
comprehensive immigration reform is<br />
passed and implemented in this country.<br />
Applicants must be or will be a high school/<br />
GED graduate who will enroll for the first<br />
time in an accredited college or university<br />
in the U.S. or Puerto Rico for the following<br />
academic year.<br />
