The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), started in 1975, supports meritorious students from Hispanic/Latino ethnicity (at least one-quarter – one grandparent should be Hispanic) to pursue their MBA or Master’s or undergraduate program. Over the past five decades, HSF has disbursed over $675 million in scholarships.
Although the award is provided annually, applicants can reapply each year even if they have been awarded the amount the previous year.
In addition to the scholarship, HSF also supports the students with career service, leadership development, mental health training, and mentorship. The network is often vital to gaining internship and post-graduation job opportunities with corporate partners in the network.
