During the past four years, the Association of the University of P.R. Alumni and Friends Abroad (UPRAA) has awarded over $56,000 in scholarships to an outstanding group of young Hispanic students who have demonstrated academic merit, commitment to public service, and financial need.

Besides our scholarship programs, UPRAA  has also supported the following organizations:

• The Carlos Rosario Charter school in DC.
• The HOME organization in Fredericksburg, VA. HOME supports children infected with HIV and resurrects the level of HIV awareness through education, prevention, and intervention services.
• The Literacy Council of Northern Virginia.  This organization teaches English to non-English speakers.

You can help us to continue supporting those in need with your support of our Charity Golf Classic to be held at Old Hickory Golf Club, 11921 Chanceford Drive, Woodbridge, Virginia on Friday, October 3, 2012. This exciting event is the primary fundraiser for our Hispanic Charity and Scholarship Fund. 

“Giving back” to the community and supporting the development of our youth to become future leaders is important to us.  We hope you agree with our commitment and will join us as a participant, volunteer, or sponsor.  As a supporter of this event, you can continue to demonstrate your commitment to the Hispanic community.
