Hispanic Achievement Scholarship
Starting college is often a tumultuous time in a young student’s life, often bringing about stress and significant life changes.
Leaving high school behind and pursuing higher education is particularly daunting for first-generation students from minority backgrounds who have few mentors or sources of guidance as they enter their new chapter.
This scholarship aims to support Hispanic students who are preparing to transition from high school to college so they can have all the tools for success.
Any Hispanic high school senior in New York who has at least a 3.0 GPA and will be a first-generation college student may apply for this scholarship. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, permanent residents, or DACA recipients.
