In 2026, with support from its community, Scholars Latino Initiative anticipates passing the one million dollar mark in total SLI college scholarships, technology grants, and dual enrollment and Advanced Placement tuition assistance awarded to students since its incorporation in 2012. Awards were first made in 2015.
Highlights so far this year:
SLI’s mission is to support Latino/a/x high school students with college access through rigorous academic challenge, leadership development, scholarships, and supportive mentorships. It is a collaboration with high school and university faculty, staff, and students to offer out-of-school, college access programs for high school students (“SLI scholars”) in Harrisonburg, Richmond, and Winchester. With support from its donors, SLI creates college scholarships, tech grants, and other financial assistance opportunities for SLI scholars and alumni.
