Rivera-Alers Scholarship Fund

Jose Rivera-Alers

Creating Educational Access

The Hispanic Federation believes that a quality education is the single most important investment we can make in Latino communities. That’s why Hispanic Federation runs educational programs that support students and their families at every stage of the academic system, from early childhood education through college graduation. The Federation also carries out research and advocates to advance policies that help Latino and other underserved students obtain the tools, resources and opportunities they need to succeed academically and in life.

To continue to create access to educational attainment, the Hispanic Federation created the Rivera-Alers Scholarship Fund in memory of former Board member Jose Rivera-Alers. Jose was committed to public service and served as Senior Community Development Officer at Wells Fargo for almost 11 years. The Rivera-Alers scholarship will be presented to Puerto Rican students who reside in the Bronx and are seeking an undergraduate degree in Business and meet the scholarship fund requirements. Donations to the Rivera-Alers Scholarship Fund are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
