WE DID IT!
ABOUT THE TELACU EDUCATION FOUNDATION
ESTABLISHED MORE THAN THREE DECADES
AGO, THE TELACU EDUCATION FOUNDATION
HAS EMPOWERED THOUSANDS OF LATINO
YOUTH—OUR NATION’S LARGEST AND
FASTEST-GROWING DEMOGRAPHIC—to earn
the college degrees and gain the professional
qualifications they need to achieve their
American Dream.
Annually, the Foundation serves more than
2,000 first-generation middle through graduate
school students and veterans from traditionally
underserved communities. They continue to
build upon a stellar legacy of excellence: almost
without exception each student earns at minimum
a Bachelor’s; nearly 80% of these degrees are in
the rigorous disciplines of STEM and Business.
