About The Esperanza Education Fund
The Esperanza Education Fund (EEF) is a volunteer-led college scholarship and mentorship program for immigrant students in the DC Metro Area. Founded in 2009, we have awarded over one million dollars in scholarships to promising first-generation and native-born students and matched them with mentors in their respective fields.

EEF is incorporated as a nonprofit organization, qualified as exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) and classified as a public charity under IRC Sections 509(a)(2) and 170(b)(1)(A)(vi).
