Bodega Kids Scholarship – 2025 The Bodega Kids Scholarship is a new initiative created to honor the hardworking families behind local bodegas and corner stores—often the backbone of our communities. This scholarship recognizes students who have grown up within the world of small family-run businesses, particularly bodegas, and celebrates the values of resilience, dedication, and community service that come with it. You may be considered for the inaugural Bodega Kids Scholarship if you have ever worked in your family’s bodega or have an immediate family member actively involved in the bodega business. Whether you stocked shelves after school, worked as a cashier on weekends, or simply grew up in the unique environment of a neighborhood store, your experience matters and your story deserves to be told. Scholarship Amount: To Be Determined (TBD) Eligibility: Open to students who are connected to the bodega business through personal or family involvement. Purpose: To support and uplift the next generation of leaders in our legal field emerging from the bodega community. The recipient(s) of the 2025 Bodega Kids Scholarship will be honored at our annual gala, where we will celebrate the strength, spirit, and stories of bodega families across the country. |
