Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards Scholarship

The Hispanic Heritage Youth Scholarship recognizes outstanding Hispanic high school seniors with college scholarships or grants for community projects. Students who excel academically or through community involvement are encouraged to apply. The 27-year-old Youth Awards have recognized thousands of high school students from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and Washington, D.C., for their achievements in the classroom, community, and focus on career paths in STEM fields, entrepreneurship, media, public service, and other categories. Gold, Silver, and Bronze recipients are selected in each category (Community Service, Engineering, Green, Technology, Journalism & Media) and receive a one-time innovation grant to fund their college education or support a community service effort addressing a social issue. Additionally, one national awardee is selected in each category. Once selected, recipients are celebrated in virtual ceremonies and become part of the LOFT (Leaders On Fast Track) Network, a collective of 300,000+ students and young professionals with access to mentors, resources, networking opportunities, workshops, symposia, summits, internships, and full-time positions with Fortune 500 companies.
