Powerful Community
Over 10 years, the Hispanic Alumni of ÃÛÌÒ½´Board has raised more than $250,000 in scholarship funds that do more than help cover the cost of tuition. They empower the next generation of Mustangs to become confident world changers who pursue their dreams.
Strengths and struggles
A pillar of the ÃÛÌÒ½´Ignited campaign is to empower outstanding students regardless of their financial means and make the ÃÛÌÒ½´experience possible for all high-achieving, future world changers. In addition to funding scholarships that help alleviate economic barriers, the University seeks to promote academic and social success among students from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds.
