Ponte Las Pilas started as more than a phrase — it’s a mentality.

It’s what our parents taught us growing up: keep going, even when it’s hard. Push through when quitting feels easier.

This project began with our first scholarship, given to support a student who showed commitment, resilience, and heart.

That’s why Ponte Las Pilas was created with two clear purposes:

• Giveaways open to any student — designed to motivate, uplift, and remind them that effort and ambition matter.

• Scholarships awarded to current students with high GPAs — recognizing discipline, consistency, and academic excellence.

Ponte Las Pilas partners with Hispanic student organizations to deliver these giveaways and scholarships, while independently funding and supporting each initiative.

From scholarships to small giveaways, Ponte Las Pilas exists to help students keep moving forward — one step at a time.
