the A. Sanchez Award
Each Fall Semester The Latin American and Caribbean Studies Center (LACS) offer a
university-wide scholarship for eligible students.
The A. Sanchez Construction Corporation Scholarship for Undergraduate Academic Achievement is a $2,500prize awarded annually in recognition of an undergraduate student attending Stony Brook University who has
shown outstanding academic achievement, scholarly promise and service and leadership
to the community. Latino/Latina juniors and first semester seniors in the College
of Arts and Sciences with a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA are eligible to apply. The
application requires a current undergraduate transcript, C.V. indicating any relevant
academic prizes, community and work experiences, two faculty letters of recommendation,
and a brief (2-page maximum) essay that explains your accomplishments, major academic
interests and how your current studies relate to your future professional or intellectual
development. Application deadline for 2023 awards is Sunday, October 15, 2023. Click here for an application and submission instructions.
Additional awards are also made available through the Hispanic Heritage Month Committee
In New York State, public fellowship aid is scarce and we must actively encourage
under-represented minorities to attain an excellent Stony Brook education. The A.
Sánchez Construction Corporation Scholarship, since 2003, shows how Long Island businesses
have assisted students with their generous contributions.
LACS welcomes contributions and new scholarships honoring prominent Hispanics/Latinos,
as well as larger developmental opportunities in endowed chairs and research, and
outreach programs around such topics as Latino migration on Long Island and the challenges
for cultural awareness, public services, and human rights.
