The Enrique S. Camarena Educational Foundation was founded to preserve and promote the sacrifices made by Special Agent “Kiki” Camarena as well as all law enforcement officers who have given their lives in fighting drug abuse. The foundation promotes drug-free education activities for our Nation’s youth. It has been nationally recognized that drug abuse is a self-destructive activity that also negatively impacts numerous lives, the educational process and our society. In 2005, the foundation established The Drug Abuse Education Scholarship Program in an effort to promote a discussion of drug-free lifestyles among our Nation’s youth. The annual scholarship program recognizes outstanding high school seniors who have exemplified the personal and educational lifestyles that promote success in the future as adults. The scholarship winners receive a $1,000 scholarship award for use in their college studies. The scholarship participants are evaluated on their participation in public or school service programs, their formal educational plans, their high school grade point average, two letters of recommendation as well as a written essay proposing an effective educational drug abuse prevention program for their school or their community.
Scholarship Information#CamarenaStrong Clubs
Students deserve to learn basic information about the hazards of substance abuse to them personally, to their families, to their schools, to their communities and to the world community. The establishment of the CamarenaStrong Club program is intended to help remedy that lack of education by harnessing the power of the students themselves to engage, educate and encourage their peers to live healthy and positive lifestyles.
