Did You Know?

A new study shows that 80 percent of Hispanic Scholarship Fund scholarship recipients graduate college within five and one-half years — a graduation rate that is nearly 30 percent higher than the national average for students of all races and ethnicities. 
     The study, conducted by MPR Associates, Inc., determined HSF played a significant role in helping students persist in college. Students worked 10 hours less a week than most students sampled in other studies, allowing them to focus on their studies. 
     “HSF has focused on ensuring that every one of our programs is delivering results and providing Latino students with the support needed to accomplish their goals,” said Christopher E. Jones, HSF chief operating officer. “The results reported in this independent assessment demonstrate that our student-centric approach is working.”
