Retired Dodgers sportscaster Jaime Jarrín offering $50,000 in scholarships to Latino students

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Jaime Jarrín, the legendary sportscaster known as the Spanish-language voice of the Dodgers, is helping young Latino students break barriers with the power of education.

This June, the Jaime & Blanca Jarrín Foundation has teamed up with Los Defensores law firm to give out $50,000 in scholarships to students.

That includes two $12,500 grants for current law students and five $5,000 grants for undergraduate students pursuing degrees in journalism, communication, and law.
