National Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated from September 15 to October 15 . It's a time to recognize contributions from Hispanic and Latino Americans to the United States as well as honor their culture, positive influence on America, and heritage.
In honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month, we've put together a list of scholarships that celebrate Hispanic and Latino roots which, in turn, award Hispanic and Latino students with opportunities to create even more contributions and accomplishments.
Mexican, Spanish-Caribbean, Central American, or South American, celebrate your rich cultural traditions, such as Hispanic Heritage Month, with a scholarship. Because one of the best ways to honor any culture is with an education.
Take a look at the following college scholarship opportunities available to students of Hispanic and Latino heritage.
