UPRAA’s primary purpose is to establish an organization in which University of Puerto Rico Alumni and Friends located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area converge in fraternal union to foster common interests, support charitable and scholarship programs, and promote the educational goals of the University of Puerto Rico system.
During the past 15 years, UPRAA has awarded over $180,000 in scholarships to Hispanic students who have demonstrated a commitment to public service, academic merit, and financial need. Our charity programs have also supported the Carlos Rosario Charter School in Washington DC, the HOME organization in Fredericksburg VA, the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia, the Family Services, Inc, in Maryland and the “Centro de Servicios Abriendo Nuevos Surcos” in Puerto Rico.
UPRAA is a volunteer-based organization; all funds raised go directly to scholarships and charity.

Help ensure the effective, efficient flow of our operations and scholarship programs all year-long.
We need people who are passionate about giving back to the community and who believe in our Hispanic students as much as we do.
Thanks to you, our students in Puerto Rico are gaining the knowledge, skills and values to create a more humane, just, and sustainable world.
