The Dr. Beatriz Solis scholarship for La Puente High School Seniors was founded by the family of Dr. Beatriz Solis (1962-2020), to honor her legacy and impact.
Dr. Solis was a passionate advocate of vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. She graduated from La Puente High School and received her undergraduate, master's, and doctorate degrees at UCLA. Dr. Solis was the Program Director of Healthy Communities at The California Endowment. Her career revolved around translating love to justice. She was dedicated to the concept of building healthy communities through public health policies with the lens of economic, environmental, and racial justice.
In memory of Dr. Solis, ActiveSGV will be awarding several scholarships in the range of $300 to $700 to La Puente High School seniors who are planning to pursue higher education. Higher education can either be at a 4-year institution, 2-year institution, and/or an accredited trade school. There is no GPA requirement but you must show proof of being a La Puente High student. All eligible students are encouraged to apply.
