The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities is pleased to be the administrator of scholarship opportunities provided by our partners to assist in defraying some of your college expenditures. Please review each scholarship’s criteria carefully to see if you qualify, since each partner may have differing requirements. 

Additional scholarship opportunities will be added in the fall 2021 semester as they become available.

In addition, all scholarship applicants MUST meet the following criteria:

1. Demonstrate financial need if required by scholarship sponsor (typically determined by FAFSA).
