Hispanic Scholarship Fund-Open Scholarships
09/21/2007College scholarship programs(for the 2007 - 2008 academic year) are currently open. All applications are now online applications. HSF has also waved the 12 credit requirement for our National College Scholarship Program, which means that those students who did not apply in their senior year have another chance to apply for scholarships that will be awarded in the spring of their freshman year (they will need to submit their HS transcripts for GPA confirmation). Another major change is that we will revise the timeline for our college programs for the 2008 - 2009 academic year. The applications for 08 - 09 will be open December 1, 2007 - March 15, 2008. If awarded, students will receive their awards in the fall of 2008. Yes, this means that students may be applying back to back for scholarships! Please note, if students qualify for all scholarships they must submit for each one! Below is some brief information about scholarships that are currently open or use the link to go directly to the website. I have also attached a flyer for you to share.
Please contact Claudia Lule if you have any further questions.
