The Caribbean Dream Scholarship™
SOCAFaith LLC. established The Caribbean Dream Scholarship™ , a scholarship fund primarily dedicated to providing financial assistance to college students from the Caribbean Diaspora.
Unlike the "American Dream", which most immigrants hope to achieve, the Caribbean Dream is more specific. It describes the resilience of a demographic of people whose dreams have cultivated the ambition and pride in seeking an education for social mobility, prosperity, and success.
The Caribbean Dream consists of morale, culture, and tradition in the upbringing of all people of Caribbean descent and it inspires hope for a better life for themselves and their families. Through the Caribbean Dream Scholarship™, the concept of equal opportunity allows for the achievement of highest aspirations and goals through hard work, perseverance, and purpose without financial barriers and mental health stressors.
The goal of The Caribbean Dream Scholarship™ is to "fund the dreams" of students of the Caribbean Diaspora who wish to attend a college or university in the United States.
