Which Colleges recognize National Hispanic Scholars?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi:</p>

<p>I’m in search of a list of schools that provide full ride or significant rides for National Hispanic Scholars.</p>

<p>Several colleges have sent us letters congratulating my daughter for receiving National Hispanic Scholar Recognition, Finalist, or the Award. However, we haven’t received any notification from any organization that has awarded her this status. How do we find out about this, and what does it mean for college?</p>

<p>I’m a single mom, full time, who’s been raising a lovely, smart, active daughter in Orange County, CA. I was laid off in early 2007, and will definitely need grants and/or scholarships for my daughter to go to college. I know I’ll qualify for $9800 in a Cal Grant the first year, but we’ll need more, and I don’t want loans.</p>

<p>Also, what do you know about the following:</p>

<li>Bill Gates Hispanic Scholarship, although I don’t think we meet Pell Grant Status, but may be close.</li>
<li>Evander Holyfield grant</li>
<li>Other grants</li>
<li>Other scholarships</li>
<li>Grants for single mothers and for their child enrolling in college.</li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you for your help.</p>

<p>I got an email the other day from Boston University. They have a half-tuition scholarship for national hispanic scholars. It's not for everyone; you need a high GPA and SAT score to qualify, but if you do its certainly a nice amount of money and it was enough for me to add BU to my list of schools to apply to. Here's the link: Boston</a> University Admissions - Merit Scholarships</p>
