College Awards Program

APPLY NOW FOR 2010 COLLEGE AWARDS

The New York League of Puerto Rican Women, Inc. would like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best of health and happiness in the new year, and we are delighted to welcome you to our website.

As we begin a new decade in the 21st century, we renew our commitment to assist Puerto Rican women in their quest to obtain a college degree. The League is the only organization in the state whose focus is the Puerto Rican woman and her ability to provide a better life for herself and her family through higher education.

The League strives to offer at least six College Awards each year to Puerto Rican undergraduate women selected for their academic excellence and service to the community, and we do this by depending solely on the support and generosity of the community, since we do not receive any government grants. In the past we have presented College Awards totaling $18,000. We look forward to upholding this tradition at the League’s College Awards Gala Dinner Dance at the Marina Del Rey in the Bronx, on Thursday, August 19, 2010. Beginning with this year, we would like to increase the number of College Award recipients, and in order to do so, we look to the generosity of our friends, members, supporters, donors and sponsors to accomplish this goal. We also ask that you spread the word throughout the community about our College Awards Program so that all eligible students can apply.

We welcome you to explore our website for information on past College Award recipients, our 2009 Gala Dinner Dance, eligibility criteria for the 2010 College Awards, the 2010 College Award Application Form, Membership Application, and the Sponsorship/Donation Form, all of which can be downloaded.

We encourage you to join our organization, in support of our College Awards Program, as a Member, Sponsor and/or Donor, and to participate in our activities.

We trust that you will continue to be one of our loyal supporters, and please accept our heartfelt thanks for your gracious generosity.
