Commitment to Equity
We believe every student — no matter their income, background, or zip code — should have a fair chance to access quality education, grow their potential, and shape their own future.
Leadership Through Integrity
We invest in students who lead by example — those who demonstrate responsibility, serve others, and uphold strong values both inside and outside the classroom. Character is as important as achievement.
Jaramillo
Foundation story
Jaramillo Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, was created out of a deep belief in the power of education to change lives. Founded in 2025, we are driven by the conviction that character matters — and that students who live with honesty, compassion, and resilience are the ones who create lasting change. We honor those who lead not by status, but by example, and we invest in their journey to make the world a better, fairer place for all.

Jaramillo mission
We provide scholarships and educational support to high school and college students who demonstrate strong moral character, leadership potential, and financial need. We believe integrity and ambition deserve real opportunity.
Our programs recognize students who show honesty, courage, and accountability, and who are committed to making a positive impact in their communities. We prioritize equity by addressing barriers linked to socioeconomic status.
Through financial aid, mentorship, and educational resources, we empower students to pursue academic success and personal growth. Our work helps shape future leaders who uphold values of service and responsibility.
Our vision
We envision a world where every young person with integrity and ambition has access to higher education, regardless of financial circumstances. No student should be denied opportunity due to economic hardship. We believe that talent and moral character should be the foundations of opportunity—not privilege or wealth.
By identifying and supporting individuals with strong moral character, leadership potential, and a commitment to community impact, we help create a generation of empowered changemakers. These students will contribute to a more just, inclusive, and compassionate society, leading with courage, purpose, and vision.
