Applications for Prospanica Foundation scholarships opened on March 1. Designed for undergraduates and postgraduates who want to make contributions to society, the foundation is looking for students who are eager to share their influence across the Hispanic community.
According to the website, since the organization’s founding as the National Society of Hispanic MBAs in 1988, they have hosted career and professional development conferences connecting thousands of Hispanics to graduate programs, subject matter experts, corporations, and each other. The National Society of Hispanic MBAs rebranded as Prospanica in 2016.
Over the last two decades, Prospanica has given over $8 million in scholarships for graduate education. Scholarships range from $2,000 to $5,000 for individual applicants.
The preliminary round of the 2021 scholarship application program opened March 1 and the deadline is April 14. Applicants invited to the second round will have until June 9 to complete the full application. Click here to learn more.
