How does the Hispanic College Board application process work?

I'm looking into programs through the Hispanic College Board. Can someone explain what the application process is like? Are there any specific requirements or deadlines I should be aware of?

When you referred to the "Hispanic College Board," you might have been confused by the two separate entities—the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) and the College Board. Both organizations cater to student needs, but their functions are quite different.

The College Board is an organization that governs exams like the SAT and AP tests. They also provide scholarships and resources to students, including opportunities for students who identify as Hispanic or Latino. They're associated with scholarships and programs like the National Hispanic Recognition Program (NHRP) that recognizes academically exceptional Hispanic/Latino high school students across the United States.

The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), on the other hand, is a private organization dedicated to providing scholarships to Hispanic students. They offer scholarships to students who are graduating from high school, community college, and four-year universities.

To apply for the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, you should first meet their requirements. You should identify as Hispanic/Latinx, have a minimum of a 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale, plan to enroll full-time at an accredited university in the U.S or Puerto Rico during the next academic year, and be a U.S. Citizen, permanent legal resident, or qualify under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).

The HSF application opens January 1st and the deadline is usually around the end of February, so be sure to check their official website to confirm the dates. Select applicants will then be invited to complete a second phase, and then interviewed via a virtual platform.

I hope this clarifies the confusion! Both organizations offer fantastic resources, so feel free to check both out.
