ILLCF Next Generation Scholarship

In 2002, the Illinois Legislative Latino Caucus Foundation (ILLCF) was established, created a foundation that’s sole focus was to foster the next generation of Latinos while also advocating for policies and resources that increase access at the federal, state, and municipal level. Since their inception, ILLCF has awarded close to 1 million dollars to more than 500 Latino students across the state of Illinois.
