Scholarship Program Overview
In 1997, the Alhambra Latino Association developed a scholarship program that would award one deserving senior from each of the high schools in the Alhambra School District (Alhambra High, Independence High, Mark Keppel High and San Gabriel High) with a scholarship towards their higher education. With the generous donations of members, donors and supporters ALA has helped many talented Latinx youth on their way to college. The application process is easy!
