[Madison, June 20] — Centro Hispano (Centro), the leading non-profit organization dedicated to empowering the Latinx community in Dane County, is looking forward to our annual Becas (Scholarships) Awards luncheon on Saturday, June 24th at Madison College TRUAX Campus. This year Centro will award six 4,500 scholarships to high school seniors, four $10,000 scholarships to college students, and will continue to support one graduate student with a $20,000 annual commitment.
The Becas Program, an integral part of Centro Hispano’s mission, aims to alleviate financial barriers faced by Latinx students in their pursuit of their dreams. Centro Hispano recognizes the immense potential and talent within the Latinx community. The agency is dedicated to ensuring Latinx students have access to the resources they need to succeed in higher education. The Becas Program is a manifestation of our organization’s commitment to equity, inclusion and empowerment. With the support of Centro’s Becas (Scholarships) Committee we are pleased to once again make a significant impact this year.
Centro’s Becas recipients display strong leadership potential, Centro community involvement, and financial need. The scholarships not only provide crucial financial assistance but also serve as a vote of confidence from the community that seeds a sense of ambition and fosters a sense of belonging for the next generation.
We are proud to continue to partner with Madison College, as our host for this meaningful event as well as Becas’ generous supporters who make this event possible. Their commitment to education and investment in the Latinx community have created tangible opportunities for deserving students, providing them with the tools for success.
