CHARITY

HACER

Established in Texas in 1985, the Ronald McDonald House Charities/Hispanic American Commitment to Educational Resources Scholarship Program was created as a partnership of Ronald McDonald House, McDonald’s franchisees, and McDonald’s Corporation to provide financial assistance to promising Hispanic high school seniors whose desire is to attend college.  The local chapter of HACER was founded in 1990 and, in partnership with RMHCSC, has given out over $4.5 million in scholarships to deserving candidates.

HSF

Founded in 1975, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund empowers Latino families with the knowledge and resources to successfully complete a higher education, while providing scholarships and support services to as many exceptional Hispanic American students as possible. HSF strives to make college education a top priority for every Latino family across the nation, mobilizing our community to proactively advance that goal – each individual, over a lifetime, in every way he/she can. HSF also seeks to give its Scholars all the tools they need to do well in their course work, graduate, enter a profession, excel, help lead our nation going forward, and mentor the generations to come. As the nation’s largest not-for-profit organization supporting Hispanic American higher education, HSF has awarded over $500 million in scholarships and provides a range of impactful programs for students, HSF Scholars, Alumni, and parents.
