Invest in Resilience, Inspire a Legend

Invest in Resilience, Inspire a Legend is Mi Leyenda Foundation’s signature fundraiser dedicated to empowering the next generation of scholars. Rooted in the belief that every student’s story deserves the chance to be written, this campaign fuels scholarships, mentorship, and essential academic resources for estudiantes resilientes, resilient students determined to build their legacies through education.

As part of our first five-year strategic goal, Mi Leyenda Foundation is committed to transforming our annual $1,000 scholarship into a four-year award, providing $1,000 each year for a total of $4,000 in support. By extending our commitment beyond a single year, we aim to make a deeper, more lasting impact on a student’s educational journey, helping them not just reach college but thrive through graduation.

Our support goes far beyond financial aid. Through the Leyenda Scholar Impact Model, we provide students with a holistic foundation for success — including financial support, mentorship and guidance, networking opportunities, and access to essential resources. This comprehensive approach ensures that every scholar has the tools, relationships, and encouragement they need to persist, graduate, and lead.

By investing in their potential today, we open doors to opportunity, create pathways to higher education, and inspire future leaders to write the next chapters of their stories. Together, we can transform resilience into impact and ensure every legend has the chance to begin and continue.
