R.Evolución Latina has just announced the Doreen Montalvo 'Do It Anyway" Scholarship. Beginning in 2021, with the support of BC/EFA, one artist will be selected each year as a recipient of this scholarship. The $1,000 scholarship awarded to an artist who is 30 years of age and up and is currently pursuing a career in the performing arts.

"The voice behind some of Broadway's greatest songs, Doreen Montalvo, was an ardent supporter of our mission. Doreen was always available for anyone who needed help and she was always willing to share her talents. A champion of R.Evolución Latina from day one, she lifted up each artist, supporting the dream of making a difference through art, empowering the Latinx community and did it all with constant joy."
