GENERAL
INFORMATION
The
Duran Foundation Scholarship Fund has been established to provide an avenue
for young, deserving students to advance their higher education. By providing
this avenue to our Raza community, the Duran Foundation confirms its commitment
to identify and support promising young scholars in completing their college
education. These scholarships are available on a competitive basis to
(I.) Graduating high school students and are enrolled for the fall semester
at a local college or university (2.) Continuing undergraduate students.
The
Duran Foundation believes and promotes the concept of "giving back
to our community". We are in a position to break the cycle of poor
education and lowered expectations that our young students find themselves
facing. Breaking this cycle is very important if we are to improve the
quality of life for our community.
It is the primary aim of the Duran Foundation to increase the number of
students enrolling in and completing undergraduate degree programs. The
Foundation is interested in making a difference on a local level when
it involves our young students and whether or not they will successfully
complete their studies in order to become productive members of our society.
To qualify for one of the scholarships you must be an East Bay California Resident
