MAAA “Latinos for Education”

MAAA was established in 1981 by a group of visionary LMU alumni to help provide scholarships for qualified and deserving LMU undergraduate Latino/Latina students. MAAA not only supports students with their education but also promotes a lifelong connection between MAAA Alumni, students and the LMU community.



Thank you to all of our alumni, family and friends who support MAAA. To ensure we have the support to help future generations please consider participating in future MAAA events:

MAAA Annual Scholarship
MAAA “Latinos for Education” provides annual scholarships to qualified and deserving LMU undergraduate Latino/Latina students, scholarship ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. Through the generous support of our alumni and friends approximately $300,000 is awarded annually to LMU students. With almost 19% of LMU’s student body being Latino/Latina and 96% of these students receive financial aid we need your support.

With your continued support MAAA will be able to reach additional needy students through our scholarship program, giving those who may not otherwise be able to afford an LMU values-based education, the opportunity to fully experience all that LMU has to offer. LMU is already one of the most diverse Catholic institutions of higher education. By continuing to expand its population of promising Latino/Latina students, LMU can continue to serve its community and remain competitive with other top-ranked universities.
