During the past 15 years, UPRAA has awarded over $180 thousand in scholarships to Hispanic students who have demonstrated a commitment to public service, academic merit, and financial need. Our charity programs have also supported the Carlos Rosario Charter School in Washington DC, the HOME organization in Fredericksburg VA, the Literacy Council of Northern Virginia, the Family Services, Inc, in Maryland and the “Centro de Servicios Abriendo Nuevos Surcos” in Puerto Rico. UPRAA is a volunteer-based organization; all funds raised go directly to scholarships and charity.
