Established charitable fund at the Triangle Community Foundation to benefit Hispanic students in North Carolina. The high cost of college tuition is often a major challenge for students when considering a college education. The NCHCF awards annual scholarships to help students pay for their college education. Scholarship recipients must be of Hispanic/Latino descent and graduates of a North Carolina high school. Eligible students include those graduating this year and those that graduated within the last two years. Recipients of the NCHCF scholarship must be committed to public service and community development. Preference will be given to foreign-born applicants or the native-born children of foreign-born parents. Recipients will be chosen based on family economic need, community involvement, academic achievement, volunteerism, and leadership. Applicants must submit two letters of recommendation from a high school teacher, principal, pastor, employer, or other community leaders. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
