Our goal is to build a culturally and geographically diverse movement that encompasses the experiences and contributions of all American Latinxs.
CONGRESO SCHOLARSHIPS
Congreso’s Scholarship will support students, local community members, scholars and multi-generational community advocates to attend this national convening. Support will be given to those from historically excluded backgrounds to help amplify underrepresented voices in the heritage field.
