Welcome to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund
The Hispanic Scholarship Fund believes that the country prospers when all Americans have access to the opportunities a college education can afford. As the nation’s leading Hispanic higher education fund, HSF works to address the barriers that keep many Latinos from earning a college degree.
In addition to scholarship opportunities for deserving Latino students, we offer a broad range of outreach and educational programming to help students and their families navigate through the rigors of college life.

As the nation’s leading organization supporting Hispanic higher education, HSF developed the following initiatives that we believe are critical to strengthening America by helping Latinos earn a college degree:
"Generation 1st Degree"
This initiative aims to strengthen the nation’s future by ensuring that every Latino household in the U.S. will have at least one college graduate. Reaching this goal will have an enduring impact on the college outlook of Latino families nationwide, strengthening the American economy for generations to come. Our partners include state and national leaders in education, executives from foundations, corporations and non-profits, as well as parents and students, with a shared commitment of making a college education a viable choice for all Latinos nationwide.

"Your Words Today" Campaign
HSF partnered with the Ad Council to create a bilingual public service multi-media campaign to engage Latino parents in taking an active role in their children’s education, and encouraging them to go to college. The campaign also provides resources to families with in-depth information about preparing and paying for college. To learn more, visit www.yourwordstoday.org or www.tuspalabrasdehoy.org.
