Hispanic Heritage Scholarship Fund of Metro Orlando

The Hispanic Heritage Scholarship Fund of Metro Orlando awards $3,500 to $5,000 to graduating high school seniors who have been accepted full-time to one of six Central Florida schools: UCF, Valencia College, Seminole State College, Lake-Sumter State College, Rollins College, or AdventHealth University. You'll need at least a 3.0 unweighted GPA, a completed FAFSA, and an interview as part of the process.
