SCHOLARSHIPS

HSF offers financial aid to graduating high-school seniors, community-college students seeking to transfer to four-year universities, continuing university students seeking to complete their degrees and to students in graduate and professional programs.  Most of our scholars are low-income and first in their family to attend college.

OUTREACH PROGRAMS

HSF delivers educational outreach programs to middle school, high school and college students, and their families.

College Access and Preparation:  HSF’s bi-lingual workshops, held in communities across the country, guide families through the college-preparation, application and financial aid process.

College Retention:  HSF’s on-campus support networks provide students with leadership, academic and career development programs.

Alumni Mentoring and Peer Counseling:  HSF engages alumni and university students as role models and mentors for high school and community college students.
