The Taco Bell Foundation has given away millions in scholarships.

Founded in 1992, the Taco Bell Foundation has awarded more than $130 million in scholarships and grants.

In 2022 alone, the foundation donated $8 million to 772 students.

The Live Más Scholars come from a pool of Taco Bell team members and fans.

The program’s goal is to “break down barriers” for students who want to make positive contributions to their communities. 

The money will support teen programming such as Teen Nights, Keystone, Torch Club and others, according to a news release.

“It’s a privilege to partner with the Taco Bell Foundation in educating and inspiring young people nationwide,” said Tracy Matheny, director of good character and citizenship for Boys & Girls Clubs of Wayne County, in the release. “Together, we are working to break down barriers to education for future leaders.” 

More than 400 youth-serving organizations will receive a portion of the $7 million presented by the Taco Bell Foundation this year. The community grants are an example of the Taco Bell Foundation’s mission to break down barriers to education and fuel young people’s boldest ambitions.
