Hispanic Heritage
Scholarship
Movimiento Tricolor understands first-hand the obstacles set before first-generation students, and we want to help alleviate the financial burdens.
Movimiento Tricolor is proud to support the next generation of Latino leaders through the Hispanic Heritage Scholarship. This scholarship recognizes academic excellence, leadership, and a commitment to cultural preservation within the Dominican and Latino community. Since our founding, we have awarded over $5,000 in scholarships, expanding our impact by partnering with local businesses to provide grants for young entrepreneurs and emerging business leaders. By investing in students and new business owners, we aim to empower future changemakers and strengthen economic opportunities within our community.
Applications for the 2025 Hispanic Heritage Scholarship will open in Spring 2025. For more information, please contact Jennifer at jennifer@movitricolor.org.
This scholarship highlights Hispanic youth in the City of Camden, New Jersey. With this scholarship, Movimiento Tricolor hopes to help young hispanic youth in their transition from high school to post-secondary education with the support of not only us but their community.

With the Hispanic population growing at a significant rate across the country and being first-generation, Movimiento Tricolor understands first-hand the obstacles set before first-generation students, and we want to help alleviate the financial burdens.
