<p>I'm Asian, but I have a citizenship from a country in latin america for I lived there when I was young. Does it help to put both citizenships when applying?</p>
<p>Do you still have that citizenship?</p>
<p>Being hispanic is not related to your “race” or color. There are Black hispanics, Asian hispanics, etc. You can be argentinian and totally caucasian looking you’re still hispanic. So even if you don’t have citizenship, if you grew up in a spanish speaking country and your parents/yourself speak spanish among your languages, you would be considered hispanic.
If you have that citizenship and/or can identify as mixed asian/hispanic, it counts too.</p>
<p>yes I still have one. It’s just that I heard that being hispanic helps when applying to colleges.</p>
<p>Only for Americans ^^</p>
<p>You’re still considered international.<br>
We’re hispanic: mexican-american-small amount of american indian, southern californians, US citizens. It did not help one bit. We’re not “under-represented” enough. The Hispanic Scholarship Fund strung us along for a while, even when my dd applied for a $100 scholarship; what a joke! Why? Even though my kids applied for merit aid they kept getting rejected. Why? We own a home, so we’re house rich and cash poor. HSF is supposed to look at merit; dd didn’t get the $100 after she filled out mountains of paperwork.</p>
