Receive $1,000 Scholarships! 

USHLI has awarded over $1.2 million in scholarships and internships to Latino college students.  With affordability being one of the main reasons more Latinos are unable to complete their post-secondary education or training, USHLI is trying to do its part to help students stay in school and graduate by awarding scholarships. 

  

Our following two recipients of the Dr. Juan Andrade Scholarship for Young Hispanic Leaders in 2013 are Paulina D. Rodriguez and Victor L. Rivera. Paulina is a sophomore attending Linfield College, and majors in Spanish and Sociology.  Victor is a freshman at Trinity Christian College majoring in Exercise Science.

Forty students will receive USHLI scholarships or internships in 2013, which are awarded on a highly competitive basis.  Not only must applicants demonstrate strong leadership potential, the need for financial support must be equally strong.  Also, additional consideration is given to students who are the first in their family to graduate high school or the first to pursue post-secondary education or training.  

 

USHLI continues to be the premier national organization empowering Latino youth by engaging students in nonpartisan civic participation and leadership development, and promoting education.  Over 350,000 high school and college students have participated in USHLI's education programs including Students for an Educated Democracy, Citizens for an Educated Democracy, Student Leadership Series, Collegiate Leadership Development, Grassroots Leadership Development, and 21st Century Leaders/MillerCoors Scholars summer internship.

 

In addition USHLI has registered over 2.2 million new voters, trained over 45,000 present and future leaders, and published over 425 studies and reports on Latino demographics.  In 2012 USHLI was recognized as the National Organization of the Year.
