The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) provides scholarships and support to members of the Latino community pursuing college degrees. The HSF was founded in 1975. It has provided over $580 million in funds to Latino students, parents and alumni. The mission of the scholarship fund: “To empower Latino families with the knowledge and resources to complete a higher education.” The Hispanic Scholarship Fund provides more than scholarships, though.
