<p>hey i was just informed that i am a National Hispanic Scholar by my GC. After scrounging around CC it seems like many colleges give scholarships to Hispanic scholars similar to what they would do for national merit scholars. I know Northeastern gives National Merit Finalists full scholarships and i was wondering if anyone has heard of Northeastern doing anything similar for Hispanic Scholars??</p>
<p>There’s no specific scholarship geared towards hispanics per se. NEU offers merit-based and “educational opportunity” scholarships, and you would be considered the latter.</p>
<p>The one that would pertain to you would probably be the the Torch Scholarship which is mainly geared towards minorities and first-generation college students. But unless you’re applying next year, it’s too late.</p>
<p>Here’s more info:</p>

<p>im a junior in high school and no i dont think the torch scholarship would apply as i am not a first generation student. ugh i was hoping NEU would provide a scholarship, i know U of Alabama, U of Arizona, Arizona State, and Ohio state offer national hispanic scholar scholarships that arent well advertised. do you think a call to financial aid would be worth it</p>
<p>Of course it’d be worth it. Never hurts to ask them.</p>
