Hispanic Scholarship Fund

Get Started Network Volunteer Fundraise

You are part of an amazing network of more than 50,000 alumni who turned opportunity into achievement. You are a testament to what can happen when hard work is paired with community support. Now you can us, help others like you by closing the Hispanic achievement gap. Today only 13 percent of Latino adults have a BA degree, compared to 17 percent for African Americans and 30 percent for the white population.

HSF is working to put a college degree in every Latino household. You can help. Through HSF’s scholarship program, community outreach and education, college retention programs, networking and career opportunities, there is much we can do together.

HSF Alumni Chapters

Starting or joining an HSF Alumni Chapter on Facebook is an easy way to stay in touch with other HSF scholarship recipients. Join the community, build your professional network, learn new skills, and connect with recent HSF alumni in your area.

Meet and Greet Receptions

Network with other local alumni and HSF supporters, receive an insiders’ briefing on the latest HSF programs and scholarship news, gain valuable resources to benefit your local community and help increase access to a college education for Hispanic youth.

As an HSF volunteer you play an important part in helping Latino families, youth and college students get the information and support they need be successful.

Share Your Story

As an HSF alum, you can use your own powerful story of opportunity and achievement to inspire others. Motivate high school students and families by speaking in your community or at an HSF event, give current college students guidance to succeed, or share your story online.

Spread the Word

Help share our Your Words Today multimedia campaign with your community. As an HSF alum, you know the challenges many families face in getting to college. Help us reach more Latino parents with free bilingual resources to help their child reach college.

For every scholarship HSF awards, there are four deserving students we don’t have the funds to help. Invest in the future of an individual student and in the Hispanic community. Help send more students to college, and give others access to the same opportunities you received.

"My mother always told us that a college education is the key to success. Perhaps I’m an idealist, but I believe that one day youth who come from traditionally disadvantaged communities will have the same opportunities to succeed that I have had."
