On behalf of LULAC Institute Inc. and Ford Motor Company Fund, we invite you to apply for the 2022-2024 Ford Driving Dreams Grants program. We believe that education is the gateway to opportunity and are proud to continue our partnership and support of programs that help Hispanic students achieve on-time graduation and provide a pathway to higher education.
