Arizona Hispanic Youth Symposium
Arizona State University - Tempe | July 7-10, 2010

About the Program

The Hispanic College Fund is coming to Arizona this summer! More than 100 local Hispanic high school students and 200 community volunteers will come together for a life-changing event that raises the college-going trajectories of Hispanic students in the community.

From July 7th, 2010 to July 10th, 2010, the participants of the Arizona Hispanic Youth Symposium will convene at Arizona State University in Tempe for a four-day, three-night program that allows them to develop a network of peers and mentors, learn about resources and tools for college, and develop a long-term career vision.

Competitions will be held for $2,000, $1,000, and $500 scholarships in art, speech, and talent categories. The symposium only requires a $10 personal investment fee from the students. For more information, click here.

A Year-Round Program

Following the symposium, students will be enrolled in the year-round programming of the Hispanic Youth Institute. The Hispanic College Fund will also stay in electronic contact with the students, providing them ongoing information about scholarships, internships, and college application deadlines.

The Hispanic College Fund ensures that students who participate in the Hispanic Youth Symposium become part of a network that supports their educational and professional aspirations indefinitely.

Investing in the Community

Each symposium costs about $180,000 to run, and 92 cents from every dollar raised go to support direct costs (including student meals, lodging, classroom space, and supplies) and staff that make the symposium a success.

We rely on volunteers and the generosity of community donors, corporations, and foundations to support the program. Join us today and help make a difference in the lives of very talented and deserving students!
