History of the Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey-Scholarship Fund:

Since 2003, the Chamber, through its successful fundraising programs has awarded over $400,000 in Scholarships, utilizing an independent selection committee comprised of New Jersey College Presidents or their designees. Each of the 45 four year scholarships awarded from 2003-2010 is valued at $8,000, disbursed in $1,000 cash increments over eight semesters.

It is the objective of the Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey to annually award scholarships to deserving students.

The support is continuous over a 4-year period providing that scholarship recipients continue to meet the criteria that was established by our academia and advisory committees. The applicants were selected through a review process that was conducted by our selection committee.

We have requested the assistance of the academic community to establish a committee to develop criteria for the nomination/+application, evaluation, and selection of scholarship recipients. To date committee members include 32 Colleges or Universities. Additionally we are contacting Business and Community leaders to support this admirable cause.
