Joshua Gomes Memorial Scholarship

The Joshua Gomes Memorial Scholarship Fund aims to lay a path for hope for young adults like Josh – those with HIV/AIDS – by providing academic scholarships to universities of their choice. Each $1,000 scholarship we award will give the recipient a strong message: You are Worth Investing in
