The De Los Santos Family Filipino-American Scholarship was established by a group of first-generation Filipino-American cousins from the San Francisco Bay Area. Rooted in strong family values, cultural pride, and gratitude for the opportunities available to them, the family created this Scholarship to give back to the community and uplift future generations. This Scholarship aims to support Filipino-American high school seniors who demonstrate resilience, determination, and a deep connection to their heritage. Recognizing that minority students in the United States often face unique educational and social challenges, the program encourages applicants who have shown perseverance in overcoming adversity while maintaining strong academic performance.
