History and Purpose of Organization
To extend financial assistance to deserving students who apply and meet guidelines for scholarships. The number and amount of scholarships awarded is contingent on monies collected throughout the year through various fundraisers. Some of the fundraisers include the scholarship dance, golf tournament, barbecues, fish fry, Mardi Gras dance, bus trips every other month to the Coushatta Casino in Louisiana, to name a few. We will initiate any and all kinds of events in order to raise funds for our scholarship program.
The awarding of scholarships to Hispanic students is very important not only for the students but also to the community, which can support and inspire Hispanic students to stay in school, graduate and attend college. The scholarship program began in 1989, and the first six scholarships were awarded on July 7, 1990.
