<p>We were not even aware of this program until this fall( my son’s senior year). I did not know my chid would qualify as a Hispanic Scholar( I know, sounds quite dumb) One needs only to be 25% hispanic. I never really thought about it…nor did my son’s high school councellor.</p>
<p>OK…found the NHRP info on the web. Initial contact was made through <a href="mailto:nhrp@collegeboard.org">nhrp@collegeboard.org</a>. WALAH! I was guided through the necessary steps to receive the award. The representative (I forget her name) was incredibly helpful. No doubt, they try to make this as inclusive a program as possible. </p>
<p>Lesson: Search. Ask Questions. Learn. Think outside the box. Don’t give up. You WILL find a way.</p>
