Biographical Note

Los Universitarios formed in the early 1950s as a social club for Mexican-American students, many of which were the first to attend college from their families. The group created a scholarship fund for Latino students, awarding the first scholarship of $250 to Julie Ortega of Douglas, Arizona. The scholarship formed the foundation of the University of Arizona Hispanic Alumni, which was created in 1982 and included several members of Los Universitarios. Many members of Los Universitarios went on to become educators, doctors, lawyers, military officers, and civil servants.
