Partner with us to support RGV youth
Smokin' on the Rio is committed to helping Rio Grande Valley youth achieve their educational goals. In 2014, we started our scholarship program, awarding college scholarships to eligible students pursuing higher education.
In 2016, Smokin' on the Rio initiated a new opportunity for students interested in pursuing a vocational degree. In honor of long-time supporter Arnold Medellín, we created the Arnold Medellín Memorial Scholarship to recognize his dedicated service to Smokin' on the Rio.
