Chuck Acosta Scholarship
About the Scholarship
The Chuck Acosta Scholarship honors the legacy of Chuck Acosta, whose 35-year career in education included serving as a bilingual education consultant at the Los Angeles County Office of Education and contributing to numerous local, county, and state educational committees.
