Pope Francis Hispanic Scholarship Fund
Continued Education for Hispanic Students
Pope Francis Hispanic Scholarship Fund
The Pope Francis Hispanic Scholarship Fund was created by Victor Sanchez. Victor was born and raised in Puerto Rico. In 1999, he and his wife Maria Ivonne relocated to Atlanta where they became parishioners of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Marietta. He and his wife come from a “family of servers,” and they have always enjoyed helping and serving others. “Giving help doesn’t hurt,” Victor said. “All the opposite, it makes the world better.”
Victor’s service-oriented life led him to create the Pope Francis Hispanic Scholarship fund in 2015 with the Catholic Foundation. This fund now supports gap scholarships for students at Kennesaw State University.
Victor’s giving has been inspired by a simple yet profound thought – that God sent his only Son to save the world and make it better.
