In Canada, the José Eduardo López Memorial Scholarship was launched in 2009. In the absence of a grave, Eduardo's family and their friends decided to honor his memory and legacy by starting this memorial scholarship. JELM Scholarship provides financial support to youth aged 17 to 24, and mature students of Latin descent who have already been accepted in a post-secondary institution.
This project is possible thanks to the support and financial contributions of community members, family, friends and local businesses.
