Mission

The fundamental purpose is to provide a monetary award to underprivileged, low income students whose desire is to further embark on their educational endeavors, but find it a hardship to pursue their dream.

Statistics have proven that the younger a child is challenged educationally the better chances they will have to develop strong study habits and discipline skills to help them enjoy learning which will enhance their desire to remain focused in school. This in turn will allow them to further their education beyond their primary skills and pursue higher education, at which point the Rivera Mitu Scholarship Foundation may continue to be a resource of help.

Vision

It is our vision to provide monetary award to as many students as possible who meet the criteria of financial need and academic merit with the aspirations and ambitions to further embark in their educational endeavors but find such a dream a financial burden for themselves and their families.

As a viable 501 (c)(3) non-profit tax –exempt organization (currently in application process), we aim to be an organization which will successfully expand capabilities to service more students in need through grants, donations and fundraising events.
