SALEF Scholarship!

TODAY IS THE DEADLINE!
Don't forget to apply to the SALEF Fulfilling Our Dreams Scholarship

SALEF website

SALEF's "Fulfilling Our Dreams Scholarship" fund is making higher education a reality for Central American and Latino students, including AB 540 students, with approximately 750 scholarships provided since 1998. SALEF's "Fulfilling Our Dreams Scholarship" Fund offers financial assistance and support to undergraduate, graduate and professional students, often making the difference in whether a student can attend college or not.
