Hispanic Alliance GA Scholarship Program
Hispanic Alliance GA has established a scholarship program to assist students who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.
Hispanic Alliance GA Scholarship Program
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.
Eligibility
Applicants to the Hispanic Alliance GA Scholarship Program must:
-
- Self-identify as Hispanic or Latino
- Be high school seniors that reside in Georgia
- Plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year*
- Have a minimum grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent)
*Certification programs must be through an accredited institution and must run on a standard academic semester calendar. Certification programs must be a minimum of one semester/term in length and recipients must be enrolled at the time awards are disbursed in August.
Awards
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $1,500 award. Up to 8 awards will be granted.
Awards may be renewed for one additional year or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance in a full-time course of study and continuation of the program by Hispanic Alliance GA.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Notification
All applicants will be notified in late January.
Notifications are sent via email. When setting up your account, avoid using a school or work email. Instead, use an active, personal email address that you will continue to have access to.
Please make sure to add studentsupport@scholarshipamerica.org as well as the program email address as safe senders in your email contact list.
Payment of Scholarships
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Hispanic Alliance GA. Payment is made in August.
Selection of Recipients
Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:
- Academic record
- Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
- Work experience
- A statement of educational and career goals and objectives
- Unusual personal or family circumstances
Financial need, as calculated by Scholarship America, must be demonstrated for the student to receive an award.
Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Hispanic Alliance GA play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
