The Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards run annually from January through July and honor young Latino leaders with grants for their college education. Applications are open to graduating high school seniors who maintain an un-weighted 3.0 GPA. Award categories include Business, Education (future teachers), Engineering and Mathematics, Journalism, and Sports. Additional categories may be added, so please check back. For specific questions, please consult our FAQs.
The Awards are divided into twelve different regions across the country: Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose/San Francisco Bay Area, Phoenix, Chicago, Miami, New York, Philadelphia/New Jersey, and Washington, DC. Students may apply to as many categories as they wish within any one region (and only one) regardless of where they live provided that they can attend the regional recognition ceremony.
Three recipients are selected for each category (Gold, Silver and Bronze Medallion) in each of the twelve regions. Special recognition ceremonies are held with local business, education and community leaders to pay tribute to their accomplishments. Gold Medallion recipients are eligible for an additional $5,000 educational grant, a laptop computer, and an all expense paid trip to attend the Hispanic Heritage Awards in Washington, DC.
