Esperanza Scholarship Foundation Dollars for Scholars

Esperanza Scholarship Foundation Dollars for Scholars is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational opportunities for underrepresented, low-income, and first-generation college students in the Inland Empire region of California. For over 27 years, we’ve been empowering students to achieve their academic dreams by awarding over 1,500 scholarships and raising more than $1.6 million. Our work directly addresses the educational achievement gap, ensuring that students from these communities have access to the resources they need to succeed. We operate as one of approximately 500 Chapters nationally, affiliated with Scholarship America, and rely on a dedicated network of volunteers and donors to fuel our mission of "pay it forward."
