Established by Governor Raúl Castro and his colleagues, the scholarships are intended to develop a new generation of students committed to building bridges across the growing divide between Latin America and the United States. The scholarships are awarded annually to outstanding University of Arizona students who, as part of their training, have focused on Latin America and built on this commitment with extraordinary service learning. Students from the border region and those majoring in Latin American Studies will be given priority in the selection process, if their qualifications match those of other competitors. Faculty members are asked to nominate students and include in their letter how the student has or plans to meet the service learning requirement. Nominations should be sent to Dr. Raúl Saba at the Center for Latin American Studies.
