Given the resurgence of COVID-19, its grim toll on our community and on our Illinois Legislative Latino Caucus Foundation family, we have decided to proceed with the scholarship ceremony on Saturday, December 5th . The ILLCF’s “La Presencia Latina” conference will be redesigned as a series of policy diálogos planned for early 2021. Please stay tuned to this website for updates!!

​

In the meantime, please make plans to join us on Saturday, December 5th at 11:00 to help us celebrate the 30 outstanding Latinx scholars who will be receiving scholarships this year.

Thank you for your ongoing support and stay tuned for more 2021 programming announcements. Wishing you a safe and healthy holiday season,

​

Senator Omar Aquino and Rep. Elizabeth “Lisa” Hernandez

ILLCF Board Co-Chairs
