LOS ANGELES, CA, October 30, 2019– The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), the nation’s largest nonprofit organization supporting Hispanic American higher education, in partnership with Wells Fargo & Company (Wells Fargo), Arizona State University (ASU), and The University of Arizona, will be hosting a College Camp informational workshop, for middle and high school students and their families, on ASU’s West Campus in Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday, November 2, 2019.

College Camp is a free, bilingual, half-day, college preparation program, designed to help middle and high school students and their parents, prepare, plan, and pay for college. The Phoenix program marks the third in the 2019-20 College Camp series of workshops slated for six cities around the US. Topics include navigating the college application process, choosing a college that's the right fit, writing a personal statement, and researching financial aid and scholarship opportunities.

“HSF is thrilled to be able to host College Camp in Phoenix, and provide crucial information to local students and their parents, on what it takes to prepare for a college track. The program offers participants a chance to learn, ask questions, and interact with a variety of experts, at a single location, in a collegiate setting,” said Fidel A. Vargas, President & CEO, Hispanic Scholarship Fund. “Thanks to the continuing and generous support of Wells Fargo, Arizona State University, and The University of Arizona, we will once again have the opportunity to transform lives in the region, by sharing knowledge and resources that can be difficult to accrue quickly and independently!”

Participating students are grouped by grade level, in sessions tailored to their academic needs, while parents meet according to language preference—in Spanish or English. All participants have the opportunity to interact with HSF Scholars, Alumni, staff, and additional supporters from local communities who include business leaders and educators.
