JVS Scholars is a nonprofit organization dedicated to breaking down educational barriers and empowering students from low-income and underrepresented communities to achieve their dreams of higher education. Founded by Julia Sandoval, a first-generation college graduate and advocate for equal opportunity, JVS Scholars was built on the belief that no student should be denied a future because of circumstance.

Through scholarships, mentorship, and community outreach, we provide the tools, guidance, and resources students need to succeed in college and beyond. From school supply drives to one-on-one academic support, every initiative is designed to uplift, educate, and inspire the next generation of leaders.

At JVS Scholars, we champion the values of Justice, Vision, and Strength the core principles that define both our name and our mission. We are committed to cultivating a culture of integrity, community, and humility, ensuring that every student we serve feels seen, supported, and capable of transforming their potential into purpose.
