Three opportunities to apply for scholarships or fellowships with impending deadlines were recently announced for Hispanic students:
Hispanic College Fund
The Hispanic College Fund is calling for scholarship applications for the 2008-2009 academic year. The one-year scholarship amounts range from $500 to $10,000 and recipients must re-apply each year. The average scholarship awarded is $3,000 and the deadlines for scholarships vary between Feb.1, 2008 to March 15, 2008.
To be eligible for a scholarship, the applicant must plan to attend a college or a university as a full-time student for the entire academic year. Only U.S. citizens or permanent residents residing in the United States or Puerto Rico and who have a minimum GPA of 3.0 are eligible.
In 2007, the HCF awarded over $1.8 million in scholarships to 615 students. For more information, visit http://www.hispanicfund.org or call 1-800-644-4223.
