Program Description

The Hispanic Scholarship Fund administers the MassMutual Scholars Program in partnership with UNCF and the Asian & Pacific Islander American Scholarship Fund (APIASF).

The MassMutual Scholars Program is funded by the MassMutual Financial Group, and is focused on expanding access and opportunity of higher education and employment to citizens who reflect the rich cultural diversity of our nation.  MassMutual seeks to increase the number of minority students completing college nationally and raising awareness of our national agencies and careers in financial services.
