The Lozano Memorial Scholarship was established by Samantha Lozano to honor her late mother and father, who have always championed her pursuit of higher education. As proud immigrants from the Philippines, Bernadette and Samuel Lozano provided their daughter with the values of hard work, resilience and love of community. Samantha, a graduate of Baltimore Polytechnic Institute and Towson University, is currently working for a financial technology company based in Seattle, Washington. This scholarship aims to support low-income Baltimore City Schools students who have lost a parent or a family member.
