In today's environment, post-secondary education is one of the critical keys to advancement and success. The increase in the Hispanic/Latino labor force has clearly become a clear call for the need of a highly educated work force affecting the revenue streams throughout the country.
The Hispanic Women's Corporation (HWC) has made a clear difference in the academic and professional lives of our students. the HWC Scholarship Program provides not only tuition support, but advice, encouragement, peer contact with the colleges, role models, an alumni base and success stories to motivate students. Monetary awards are based on grade point average,need, interest, volunteerism and dedication from the applicants for undergraduate and graduate degrees as indicated on our Scholarships page. Our Links and Resources page offers additional sites for scholarship availability with descriptions and deadlines. Awards have ranged from $300 to $10,000 annually. HWC awards over 50 scholarships annually and students are presented at the annual HWC Scholarship Benefit Luncheon.
Many thanks to our sponsors are in order for their assistance throughout the years and the positive impacts on the many lives they have impacted so positively.
We look forward to seeing all of you at the 24th National Hispanic Women's Conference October 1st and 2nd, 2009 in Phoenix.
