Apply to the HACU Scholarships!
The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) Scholarship Program 2022-2023 is now open! As a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI), The University of Arizona, is a HACU member college and as such, students are eligible to apply for HACU scholarships. Each year HACU partners with organizations and companies to provide funding to assist students attending college. The deadline to apply is July 1, 2022 which leaves plenty of time for students to apply. We highly encourage students and their families/supporters to work together to apply for funding for 2022-2023. Students should review each scholarship’s criteria carefully to see if they qualify, since each partner may have differing requirements. To view the scholarship opportunities, click HERE.
