<p>I recently received a letter from the National Hispanic Recognition Program informing me I had achieved the scholar status. I was wondering what schools out there offer scholarships for this designation. I know there is already a board about this, but it's from 09' and a few of the schools on that list have since pulled the NHRP scholarship... Just looking for some updated info. Thanks.</p>
<p>I think the Arizona schools, and maybe the New Mexico schools…and maybe some Texas schools and some others. Look at Fordham.</p>
<p>I have some info. Our NMF score thread got side-tracked on a discussion about NHS and I started looking up scholarships. I also got some info by e-mailing FA and scholarship offices directly. Am waiting to hear back from others so will add as I hear. I’m using the NMF scholarship list as a base, now maintained externally. These are all large scholarships.</p>

<p>Schools that offer substantial money, but less than for NMF:
From website:
Mississippi State- tuition/fees/books (no rm/bd)
UT-Dallas- tuition/fees +$2K/yr (smaller stipend than NMF)</p>
<p>Be aware that some schools may impose extra requirements on NHS to receive these scholarship, like GPA/rank etc. I saw one school that required one parent to be full Hispanic. Have to check each school’s website and e-mail/call if anything is unclear.</p>
<p>Also, many schools are eager to enroll good students of Hispanic background even if they don’t offer NHS scholarships and have other scholarships available. But they often are not automatic and a bit harder to track down. You can get substantial money that way but need to do some legwork.</p>
<p>Update-
UCF. Clarify that the offers are different. It’s full ride for NMF, full tuition+ for NHS
UHouston- Nothing automatic for NHS. Scholarships are by application and vary.</p>
<p>D just learned she received the Chancellor’s Scholarship for Non-residents at University of Nebraska - $23,016 for 1st year covering full tuition plus a little extra.</p>
