The Goldman Sachs Foundation (GSF) announced its award of a $1 million grant to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) at a Faculty Club reception held last night to honor HSF Scholars at Harvard.
Nationally, the HSF has awarded scholarships to 40,000 Hispanic students, totaling over $58 million since its founding in 1975, according to Tucker.
Networking and mentoring between past, present and future HSF Scholars was the key theme of the evening. Tucker emphasized the importance of keeping Hispanic secondary school students in school and encouraging them to apply to college.
I can’t pinpoint when it happened, but somewhere between sixth and eighth grade I started hanging out with the 10 other white kids in my 200-person middle school class. My school, two blocks from my house, was over 50 percent Hispanic.
Perhaps those numbers don't carry the kind of shock value they might have 10 years ago, when denizens of America's comfortable middle-class communities could still pretend gun violence only happened in urban (read: black and Hispanic) schools.
