Excelen-ΣIA Academic Scholarship

Today, Latinos are the fastest growing group in the country, however, this group also has the country's highest high school drop out rate. Latinos not only have to face the normal hurdles of school education, but many face the challenges of being first generation students, having to assist the home with financial burdens early on in life, learning a new language, or just suffer a lack of educational resources.

The ladies of SIA know this burden first hand, with many of our hermanas facing these and more challenges to make their educational goals come true. If not for scholarships and grants, many of our hermanas may never have been able to achieve the success they enjoy today. SIA believes that education is an investment, and the best way to help our community is to help the ones who need it the most: our youth. That is why Hermandad de Sigma Iota Alpha, Inc. in conjuction with the Solidaridad Inspiracion Amistad Community Foundation, is proud to award the Excelent-ΣIA scholarship to help with the educational cost of college.
