Comité Noviembre Scholarship Information
Established
in 1987, Comité Noviembre is the only collaboration of its kind in the
United States. It brings together the strengths and talents of key
Puerto Rican organizations that make up its member agencies. The mission
of Comité Noviembre is to plan and promote events and forums that
highlight the contributions Puerto Ricans have made to this country.
Since its inception, Comité Noviembre has placed a special focus on volunteerism and educational excellence as the key to the future of the Puerto Rican Community. To this end, in November of 1996, in celebration of the tenth anniversary of Puerto Rican Heritage Month, the Comité Noviembre Scholarship Awards Program was established.
This year, Comité Noviembre will award $1,000 scholarships.
