Verizon Wireless Celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month by Contributing to
HSF Scholarship Programs

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Verizon Wireless joins the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), the nation’s leading organization supporting Hispanic higher education, to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Verizon Wireless will invest $1 per new account activation to HSF with a minimum donation of $25,000 and a maximum of donation of $50,000 from September 15, 2007 through October 15, 2007.

"Verizon Wireless is proud to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, the nation's leading organization supporting Hispanic higher education,” said Oscar Madrid, Associate Director of Multicultural Marketing for Verizon Wireless. “Thank you for your interest in this program supporting young Latino leaders as they prepare for a successful future." 

With tuition and fees continuing to skyrocket, a lack of financial resources remains the single biggest barrier for Hispanic families seeking a college education for their sons and daughters. With the help from Verizon Wireless, HSF continues to work aggressively toward its goal of doubling the percentage of Hispanics holding a bachelor’s degree by the year 2010.

Below is a list of participating Verizon Wireless stores.
