Colgate-PalmoliveCelebrates Hispanic Heritage Month With Annual"Haz la U™" Educational Grant Program
In its fifth year, "Haz la U™" has expanded to offer education- al grants to Hispanic high school seniors enrolling in higher educa- tion for the 2014-15 school year. This year's recipients will also be awarded a membership into the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, which includes career counseling, as well as the opportunity to network with past Hispanic Scholarship Fund alumni.
"Haz la U™" seeks to help grant recipients fund their first year of college and put them on the road to graduation. Recent news from the U.S Census Bureau Analysis reveals that a record 7 in 10 Hispanic high school graduates are enrolling in higher education. With more Hispanic students entering higher education it is impor- tant to support these students in college.
While more Hispanic students are attending college, according
to the Pew Hispanic Center, Latinos ages 22-24 are half as likely as their Caucasian counterparts to complete their bachelor's degree. The "Haz la U™" grant seeks to keep recipients on the track to graduation by lessening their financial concerns during their first year of college and to focus on their studies.
As part of Hispanic Heritage Month and in partnership with The Hispanic Scholarship Fund, Colgate-Palmolive encourages you to get on the path to higher education.
They will be awarding 21 educational grants to Hispanic students nationwide. (1) Grand Prize — $15,000 Educational Grant (20) Second Place Prizes — $2,500 Educational Grant each
