To develop the next generation of Hispanic professionals.
We accomplish our mission by providing Hispanic high school and college students with the vision, resources, and mentorship needed to become community leaders and achieve successful careers in business, science, technology, engineering and math.
Objectives:
Hispanic high school students are the largest ethnic minority in public schools* and have the highest high school and college dropout rates.* In light of this, the Hispanic College Fund:
- Identifies specific barriers to Hispanic educational achievement and addresses those barriers with targeted programs
- Creates a network of academic and career support that ensures Hispanic students graduate from high school, matriculate through college, and transition into a successful career
- Addresses the needs of a rapidly-aging U.S. workforce by promoting academic and professional careers for Hispanics in business, science, technology, engineering, and math
- Creates a pipeline of college-educated Hispanic students who become engaged community leaders.
Grant Amount: Varies
