About The Initiative

Libertad Educativa is an initiative that was launched by the partners at Diaz & Gaeta Law to help college bound immigrants to pay for college.  Attorneys Zach Gaeta and Giovanni Diaz  were inspired as the Children of Immigrant to launch this effort. While both partners are US born citizens who qualified for financial aid and scholarships that allowed them to study, watching friends family and now immigrant clients get rejected for student aid took a tole on them. So they decided to launch Libertad Educativa, which translate to educational freedom. The initiative aims to raise awareness about the challenges faced by immigrant students in the US and to provide financial support and resources to help. Proceeds donated to Libertad Educativa are used to support non-profit organizations with programs specifically designed to support higher education for college bound undocumented students that do not qualify for Federal Aid.
