The Hispanic Scholarship Fund and Procter & Gamble’s Avanzando con tu Familia Continue Partnership to Provide the Gift of Education to Deserving Hispanic students

“The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), the nation’s leading organization supporting Hispanic higher education, has joined forces with Procter and Gamble’s (P&G) Avanzando con tu Familia for the fifth consecutive year to provide scholarships to Hispanic students throughout the U.S. as well as educational and community support to promote higher education among Hispanics.

According to recent information released by the U.S. Census Bureau, workers 18 and over with a bachelor’s degree earn an average annual salary of $51,206 when compared to those with only a high school diploma, who earn $27,915. Yet despite the statistics reinforcing the value of a college education, the Hispanic community continues to lag behind in educational training when compared to other ethnic groups. The statistical breakdown of those 25 or older with a bachelor’s degree or higher show Hispanics with only 12.1 percent, compared to Asians who had the highest proportion (49.4 percent), followed by Non-Hispanic whites (30.6 percent) and African-Americans (17.6 percent). “
