Latinos in Technology Scholarship

The Latinos in Technology Scholarship is funded by The Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley (HFSV) and is dedicated to empowering Latino students pursuing STEM careers. This scholarship is more than just financial support; it is a transformative initiative that addresses and bridges the gap between Latino representation in the STEM workforce. The program financially supports third and fourth-year undergraduate Latino students who have declared a major in a STEM-related field at a 4-year university with a scholarship of up to $6,000 per year, renewable for up to 3 years, for a total of up to $18,000. The scholarship is strictly for funding undergraduate education and any remaining funds from renewals cannot be applied toward graduate studies. Scholars receive comprehensive support including professional development opportunities such as the Conexiones Mentorship Program, STEM company tours, workshops, networking events, and career prep workshops to prepare them for successful transition into the STEM workforce. Additionally, scholars gain access to summer internship programs with investors and corporate partners, actively bridging the gap between education and employment. Awardees will have opportunities to network with other students and professionals in the field and will be invited to a Welcome Orientation and events hosted by the Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley, including the Hispanic Foundation Ball.
