The Mexican American Bar Foundation is a tax-exempt section 501(c)(3) charitable corporation dedicated to providing financial assistance to men and women of Chicano and Latino heritage who intend to pursue careers in the law. Since 1991, working with minimal overhead, we have awarded over $600,000 in the form of 216 scholarships to 183 individual students attending ABA-accredited law schools in Los Angeles County, including Loyola, Pepperdine, Southwestern, UCLA, and USC. Nearly two-thirds of our scholars are Latinas. To review our most recent audited financial statements, click here.
