Hispanic Alliance GA Scholarship Program
Application status: Closed

Hispanic Alliance GA has established a scholarship program to assist students who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

Applicants to the Hispanic Alliance GA Scholarship Program must:

    • Self-identify as Hispanic or Latino
    • Be high school seniors that reside in Northeast Georgia. Eligible Georgia counties include:
      • Banks
      • Dawson
      • Fannin
      • Gilmer
      • Habersham
      • Hall
      • Hart

    • Plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year.*
    • Have a minimum grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale (or its equivalent)

*Certification programs must be through an accredited institution and must run on a standard academic semester calendar. Certification programs must be a minimum of one semester/term in length and recipients must be enrolled at the time awards are disbursed in August.

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $1,500 award. Up to 8 awards will be granted.

Awards may be renewed for one additional year or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon satisfactory academic performance in a full-time course of study and continuation of the program by Hispanic Alliance GA.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification

All applicants will be notified in late January.

Payment of Scholarships

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Hispanic Alliance GA. Payment is made in August.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

  • Academic record
  • Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
  • Work experience
  • A statement of educational and career goals and objectives
  • Unusual personal or family circumstances

Financial need, as calculated by Scholarship America, must be demonstrated for the student to receive an award.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Hispanic Alliance GA play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.


As part of your application, you must upload the following:

  • A current, complete transcript of grades. Grade reports are not accepted. Transcripts must display student name, school name, grades and credit hours for each course and term in which each course was taken.

NOTE: If you are providing SAT or ACT test scores, and those scores are not listed on your high school transcript, you will need to upload a copy of your test score report(s) separately. If you are uploading a college transcript, those scores are not required.

Your application is not complete unless all required materials are submitted electronically.
