HACEMOS Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

HACEMOS has established a scholarship program to assist children of Hispanic origin and children of active HACEMOS members who plan to continue their education in college. Scholarships are offered each year for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice.

HACEMOS is AT&T’s Hispanic/Latino employee resource group with a national presence that is open to all AT&T employees. Our mission reflects in our motto: ¡Juntos hacemos más! Together we do more. The scholarships are provided through the HACEMOS Scholarship Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization.

This scholarship program is administered by Scholarship America, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship and tuition reimbursement programs for corporations, foundations, associations and individuals. Awards are granted without regard to color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or disability.

Applicants to the HACEMOS Scholarship Program must:

  • Be of Hispanic heritage OR be a dependent* child of an active HACEMOS member (Chapter List here), age 25 and under, as of the application deadline.
    *Dependent children are defined as biological, step- or legally adopted children living in the member’s household or primarily supported by the member.
  • High school seniors, or graduates who plan to enroll or students who are already enrolled in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college or university in the United States, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam or any other U.S. territory for the entire 2021-22 academic year.
  • Enroll in at least 12 credit hours per semester in coursework leading to a degree.
  • Have a cumulative Grade Point Average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale (or the equivalent).
