Evelyn L. Fernandez Scholarship

About the Scholarship

The ELFSF was founded in 2021 in association with DTC. The objective of the ELFSF is to support students who are pursuing higher education studies and who have endured struggles or challenges and demonstrated interest and ability in the field of education. The Fund is a privately funded tuition assistance program for university-level students pursuing an education in the United States. The ELFSF provides $1000 to students registered in Bachelor of Education, BA, or BS, program at an accredited college or university. The result of fundraising efforts will dictate the number of scholarships that will be awarded. Last year the program was a success thanks to people like you.

Become A Donor

Over the past four years, 10 scholarships have been awarded to students pursuing careers in education, making a meaningful difference in their lives.

This year, the Committee has already begun its selection process. The number of scholarships awarded depends directly on the funds we receive. Thanks to the generosity of individuals and organizations, these students have been able to benefit from this opportunity.

Every donation, no matter the size, contributes directly to the scholarship fund and helps provide financial support to deserving students. Your support can make this another successful year, positively impacting the future of young men and women in the field of education.
