Jimmy Cardenas Community Leader Scholarship

This scholarship aims to honor Jimmy Cardenas by supporting undergraduate students in Texas with similar aspirations to also serve their community. Students who are building a better community through personal leadership activities may apply, while those currently enrolled in a college or university criminal justice degree program are preferred.

Underrepresented minorities and first-generation students are encouraged to apply! To apply, write a 400-600 word essay about a time when you overcame obstacles instead of giving up, and write about how you have demonstrated leadership in your life.
