I'm curious which colleges or universities have the highest enrollment of National Hispanic Scholarship recipients. Does anyone know where these scholars tend to go for their studies?
That's a great question. However, there aren't publicly available, individualized statistics on which specific colleges National Hispanic Scholars tend to attend. Nevertheless, many competitive schools certainly value the diversity and academic talent that National Hispanic Scholars bring to their student body.
That being said, many National Hispanic Scholars tend to be heavily recruited by schools recognizing the National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP) which includes but is not limited to: University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and University of Central Florida. These schools typically offer generous scholarships and special financial benefits to National Hispanic Scholars.
Also, keep in mind that most top-tier institutions are committed to fostering diverse student populations, so National Hispanic Scholars might be especially welcomed and supported at these schools. For instance, Ivy League schools, Stanford, Duke, and MIT, along with many other prestigious institutions, actively work to create diverse incoming classes.
Finally, I would recommend reaching out directly to the schools you're interested in and asking about their National Hispanic Scholar enrollment. They may be able to provide some insight into the resources and welcoming environment they offer to these students.
