“La HACHE de HACU” Annual Giving invests in student success

Every year the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities asks friends, alumni and supporters to participate in its Annual Giving Campaign, La HACHE de HACU. All gifts, regardless of size, help support programs that make a big difference in the lives of students. Last year, students benefited from the following:

  • More than 300 college and university students were placed in paid internships nationwide.
  • 1,126 students received academic scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $10,000.
  • 185 college and university students received travel awards to stay connected with family.
  • 110 college students attended our Emerging Leaders' Summits designed to prepare students for career opportunities.
  • Over 300 college and university students received scholarships to attend the ¡Adelante! Leadership Institute, a three-day career and leadership development program, attended by over 600 students nationwide.
  • More than 2,000 college and university administrators, students, federal and nonprofit agencies, and corporate sector partners participated in HACU's 30th National Capitol Forum and 39th Annual Conference, to learn about best practices in higher education and policy issues affecting Hispanic-Serving Institutions.
  • 42 fellows from HACU's Leadership Academy/La Academia de Liderazgo graduated and received certificates of completion during HACU's International Symposium in San José, Costa Rica which explored key challenges and emerging trends in international education.
  • 98 students benefited from opportunities provided through Voces Nuevas, our leadership, advocacy and career development program.

We are proud of our accomplishments made possible each year. It's with the help of friends and supporters of HACU that the Association can continue investing in students. All gifts are appreciated, and donors will be recognized in HACU's Annual Report.
