LULAC’s Education Programs
The key to the doors of opportunity
Over the years, the quality of education for Latinos in the United States has progressively improved. However, there is still a vast need for refinement. Currently, it has become increasingly apparent that there are still socioeconomic barriers, obstacles, and challenges that resonate deeply in Latino communities. This is the reality for Latinos who are faced with challenges each day related to barriers in language, racial identity, and various other factors that influence the appropriate access to areas that affect the quality of life, especially within education.
Through key education program initiatives and strategic policy advocacy, LULAC is helping advance the educational attainment of Hispanics in the United States and Puerto Rico. LULAC’s cornerstone education programs are increasing academic achievement, graduation rates, digital literacy skills, and higher education pursuance for students across the country.

LULAC National Scholarship Fund
A scholarship program cosponsored by some 70 LULAC Councils who raise scholarship funds at the grass roots level which are matched nationally by sponsoring corporations. The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), has considered education its number one priority since it was established in 1929. As part of LULAC’s education efforts, the LULAC National Scholarship Fund (LNSF) was established in 1975 to provide scholarships to Hispanic students attending colleges and universities. Under the LNSF program, local LULAC Councils, in partnership with local and national businesses, award scholarships to students in their communities. LNSF is administered by the LULAC National Educational Service Centers, Inc., a non-profit educational organization established by LULAC to provide educational programs for Hispanics and other youth.
