For more than 50 years, Vicky Bakery has been part of countless milestones, family traditions, and celebrations throughout South Florida. The Raíces Scholarship carries that same spirit forward by helping students pursue higher education and create new opportunities for themselves, their families, and their communities.
Our Mission
Removing barriers
The Raíces Scholarship empowers first-generation Hispanic students by providing financial support to those pursuing degrees in Business, Hospitality, and Culinary Arts — removing financial barriers, celebrating cultural heritage, and encouraging careers that strengthen the communities students call home.
Our Vision
Lasting impact
We believe opportunity can create a lasting impact for generations. By supporting students today, we hope to inspire future business leaders, hospitality professionals, and culinary innovators who invest in their communities and build careers rooted in purpose.
Our Commitment
Every story matters
We recognize that every applicant has a unique story, and we look beyond academic achievement alone. The application gives students a chance to share the experiences, traditions, and values that have shaped them.
Recipients may also be invited to participate in scholarship recognition efforts by sharing a photo, a brief biography, and updates about their educational journey and achievements – helping inspire future applicants and demonstrate the lasting impact of the scholarship.

About Vicky Bakery
Since 1972, Vicky Bakery has been family-owned and committed to serving the communities that have supported its growth for generations.
What began as a neighborhood bakery has become a South Florida institution, built on family, tradition, and the belief that meaningful connections are made around the table.
The Raíces Scholarship is a natural extension of that legacy. By investing in first-generation Hispanic students pursuing careers in Business, Hospitality, and Culinary Arts, Vicky Bakery is helping create opportunities that extend beyond the bakery and into the future of the communities it proudly serves.
