I remember when I was in high school, applying to colleges and universities was a no brainer. Getting a higher education was something my parents always pushed, so it felt natural. However, I wish I was smarter about financing that higher education.
Well thankfully, you don’t have to worry as there are many scholarships that can help support financing your education.
The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) application is now open and allows students to apply for multiple scholarships with one application! Awards range from $500-$5,000 and may be used for the institution and major of choice.
