Social Justice Scholarship

Silicon Valley Community Foundation

This scholarship was established by a Menlo Atherton graduate who is passionate about supporting immigrants as a social justice effort. She established this program in 2004 in honor of her Godmother, Julia Villarroel, who is a Bolivian immigrant and dedicated her life to working hard and loving her children here in the United States. The scholarship is intended to support students who express passion and demonstrate involvement in activities towards social justice causes, especially in support of immigrants, are immigrants themselves, or are from immigrant families.
