Program Overview

Program Overview

This Hispanic College Fund is more than just a scholarship organization. We provide a comprehensive set of programs that work together to fuel a pipeline of Hispanic students into professional careers, while supporting them along the path to success.

Our programs

  • Attract students to college at a young age through our college access program, the Hispanic Youth Symposium,
  • Retain students in college who are already enrolled by providing them financial assistance through our Hispanic College Fund Scholarships,
  • Help students explore career choices they might not otherwise have known about through our leadership program, the Karen Marquez Institute,
  • Convert students into professionals through our internship programs, NASA MUST and LOFT, and
  • Facilitate students to acquire professional careers after graduation, at which point they "send the elevator back down" by serving as role models for younger generations of Hispanics.
