When I Give, I Win - Blanca EJ Perez Scholarship Foundation

At a very young age, Blanca Jauregui-Perez enjoyed helping others. All her life she has done things that benefit others due to her love of giving. This scholarship foundation was created out of the idea that many Latino college bound students and students already attending college face financial challenges as they pursue an academic career and personal growth. Our scholarships will help these students offset educational costs while offering valuable recognition, motivation and opportunity for personal growth and academic growth. Blanca believes that good things in life are available to those who are willing to conquer them with hard work and dedication.

“Good things in life are available to all those who are willing to conquer them with hard work and dedication.” — Blanca Perez
