The 2026 Latino Scholarship Fund (LSF) Scholarship Application is now accepting applications! This is your chance to receive financial support for your college journey.

The Latino Scholarship Fund, Inc.

Since then, the LSF has raised and awarded over $1 million in scholarships to more than 600 students throughout the Greater Danbury area and surrounding towns.
