| Description: |
The mission of CHCIs Scholarship program is to provide critical financial assistance to increase graduate rates among Latino students in post secondary education. This premier scholarship opportunity is afforded to Latino students who have a history of performing public service-oriented activities in their communities and who demonstrate a desire to continue their civic engagement in the future. There is no GPA or major requirement. Students with excellent leadership potential are encouraged to apply. CHCI Scholarships Provides Recipients With: A one-time scholarship of: -$5,000 to attend a graduate-level academic institution; or -$2,500 to attend a four-year academic institution; or -$1,000 to attend a community college or AA/AS granting institution. Scholarship awards are intended to provide assistance with tuition, room and board, textbooks, and other educational expenses associated with college enrollment. In an effort to ensure the progress of scholarship recipients and encourage completion of the post-secondary program, each scholarship award is divided over the number of years required for graduation. (i.e. a $2,500 scholarship for a college freshman will be distributed in four equal installments of $625 a year). Students continue to receive annual disbursements as long as they maintain good academic standing. CHCI manages the disbursement of the scholarships; an annual check is sent directly to recipients.
