BE INSPIRED by the stories of triumph over adversity as the Hispanic College Fund (HCF) introduces its scholarship recipients. The HCF's need-and merit-based criteria identify students with extraordinary drive, talent, and maturity. The average GPA for HCF Scholars is 3.5 and two thirds of those awarded are the first in their family to attend college.
The Annual Hispanic College Fund Scholarship Awards Gala is the Fund's premier event that recognizes the talent of the scholarship recipients and the contributions of corporate sponsors, Latino businesses, and individuals. This is the culmination of the Hispanic College Fund's scholarship cycle and a celebration of Hispanic achievement.
