HSF Scholarship (Hispanic Scholarship Fund)
Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) · NationalHSF's flagship scholarship is open to students of any race who identify as Hispanic and plan to enroll full-time at an accredited public or not-for-profit four-year university or graduate school. Awards range from $500 to $5,000 based on relative financial need, and applicants must maintain at least a 3.0 GPA (high school). The application requires only GPA verification, an enrollment plan, and the FAFSA — no essay or letter of recommendation is required. Not every one of the roughly 10,000 named 'HSF Scholars' selected annually receives a cash award; that depends on available funds.
