Scholarship Campaign: Help Us Invest in the Future
LULAC Denton Council 4366 is committed to helping Hispanic students achieve their educational goals by providing financial support. Every year, we award scholarships to approximately 25 seniors in Denton ISD, as funds permit. With your help, we can double those numbers! These students are often first-generation college-bound and come from underserved or underrepresented backgrounds.
Students may apply HERE. Application is currently closed. Typically opens late January through March 15.
Eligibility Requirements for Scholarships matched by LNESC. (Local only monies, see below.)
Applicants must meet the following criteria to be considered for a scholarship:
- Must be a U.S. citizen, legal permanent resident, or be granted Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
- Must have applied to or be enrolled as a full-time student in a college or university, including 2-year colleges, or vocational schools that lead to an associate’s degree. Graduate students must have applied to or be enrolled as a part-time student in a college or university.
- A student will not be eligible for a scholarship if he/she is related to a scholarship committee member, the Council President, or an individual contributor to the local funds of the Council.
- Must have a participating LULAC Council in your area to be considered for the scholarship. Please check the list of participating LULAC Councils before accessing the application. If there is not a LULAC Council in your area, you are not eligible for consideration.
Award Criteria
Applicants are eligible for the following three types of scholarship awards:
National Scholastic Achievement Awards ($2,000)
The student has a GPA of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale or equivalent
Honors Awards ($500 to $2,000)
The student has a GPA of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale or equivalent
General Awards ($250 to $1,000)
Grades and academic performance will serve as indicators; however, emphasis may be placed on the individual’s motivation, sincerity, and integrity, which can best be revealed through a personal interview and in the personal essay. Need, community involvement, and leadership activities will also be considered.
