WHO WE ARE
COMPANY
We are a non-for-profit organization that was formed with the intentions of helping students seeking college education.
MEMBERS
The board consists of Sandra Sanchez, Lourdes Duran, Jenny DiSapip, Steve Kopp and Israel Sanchez.
WHY WE DO IT
To ensure the legacy of Cesar Castellanos carries on! He made things better for so many people, including his family, and this will never be forgotten.
Cesar came to the U.S. with a dream to provide his family with better opportunities. Along the way a restaurant was born, and through this restaurant he was able to put his family through school. Long hours, dedication, and a hard work ethic made it possible for his three children to attend DePaul University.
In 2014 Cesar passed away and although he is no longer present, his family wanted his legacy to live on. The Cesars Scholarship Foundation was created to financially help students seeking the college dream.
The application process consists of a 250 word essay describing their desire to continue their education. There is also an interview process that will take place, which will help prepare applicants for “real life” situations.
