Our Founder

Honoring the legacy of Jorge Mas Canosa: love of God, family, and homeland; the dignity of human life; the ideals of freedom and democracy; and the education of future generations in the appreciation of these ideals.

“I am extremely grateful to the Mas family for allowing me to fulfill my dreams. Thanks to the scholarship, I was able to pursue my passions in extracurriculars, focus on academics, and graduate debt-free. This support has truly been life-changing for me.”

— Carlos Garcia Perez
