The Live Más Scholarship is more than a check—it’s a community. Each year, scholars, including Taco Bell team members, gather at the Taco Bell Foundation’s Summer of Connection to develop skills, build connections, and grow their education, careers, and passions through career development, wellness sessions, and community projects.

Check out the video on this page to see all the action from last year's conference!

Golf Classic attendees are invited to attend this year’s Fire! Up for Good Challenge where eight Live Más Scholars will deliver a compelling 3-minute pitch, sharing their vision for change and the actions they are taking to make a difference. The audience- all 300 Live Más Scholars along with Taco Bell Executives, Franchisees, and Vendor & Supplier Partners will play a key role in shaping the outcome by casting their votes to determine the grand prize winner. This session is more than a competition—it’s an opportunity to amplify bold ideas, celebrate Scholar-led impact, and inspire action. Together, we’ll reflect on the power of youth-driven change and the role each of us plays in shaping the world we live in.
