About this Event
Every year, hundreds of transborder students cross between Mexico and the U.S. to pursue their college dreams, facing unique barriers in access and belonging. Join The Transfronterizo Institute and Valdés Language Services as we celebrate our scholarship recipients and raise funds to expand access to higher education in our region for students crossing the US-Mexico border every day due to financial barriers.
The Transfronterizo Institute’s College Readiness Program provides the mentorship and tools they need to succeed. Our program expands workforce development in our binational region and creates opportunities for students who would otherwise face added hardship to attend college without the support of the TransFronterizo Institute.
