Brian Lara Memorial Scholarship
Brian Lara was an incredible man who was passionate about business and helping others.
Brian studied business and management and always found time to give back to his community through various charitable institutions like Habitat for Humanity. Brian always took the time to educate and help low-income families with their investment portfolios as he recognized the disadvantages that underrepresented communities had when trying to access wealth management.
This scholarship seeks to honor the memory of Brian Lara by supporting marginalized students who are pursuing careers in business.
Any Hispanic or Latino high school senior or undergraduate student who has volunteering or community service experience and is studying business, finance, or a related field may apply for this scholarship, first-generation students and immigrants will be given preference.
