The Hispanic Scholarship Fund
The Hispanic Scholarship Fund was founded in 1975 to help Hispanic college students complete their education. HSF exists for one simple reason: to strengthen America by advancing the college education of Hispanics. In support of its mission to double the rate of Hispanics earning college degrees, HSF provides the Latino community more college scholarships and educational outreach support than any other organization in the country. In its 32-year history, HSF has awarded more than 82,000 scholarships worth more than $221 million to Latinos from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands attending nearly 2,000 colleges and universities.
