Empowering future leaders to navigate careers in finance, entrepreneurship, marketing, and nonprofit management.

What Does It Mean to Be an Exclusive Partner?

Exclusive Partners are more than sponsors. They are changemakers embedded in the Barrientos Scholarship mission to uplift Latino youth through education, mentorship, and meaningful workforce opportunities.

These exclusive partnerships ensure that students receive high-touch, high-impact experiences and that our organization is recognized as a cornerstone in building Nebraska’s future workforce.
