About This Scholarship

A student who is Hispanic American and has at least one parent who is Hispanic or of Hispanic American background is eligible to apply for the Leo and Trinidad Sanchez Scholarship Fund. A current high school senior or undergraduate student at West Valley College participating in a programme leading to a degree in architecture, or in any architectural school on a full-time or part-time basis, must be a current resident of Santa Clara County or Santa Cruz County.

Gil Sanchez created this scholarship in honour of and in remembrance of his parents, Leo and Trini Sanchez, who immigrated to the US from Mexico in the 1910s. Up until World War II, when they both got jobs in Richmond manufacturing ‘Liberty’ cargo, they picked crops throughout Central California.
