As part of Budweiser's longtime commitment to the Hispanic community, 'El Rey' and the 'King of Beers' donated a scholarship to a local college student for each of the 24 performances on his 18-city tour. Anheuser-Busch provided $100,000 for this special partnership program in 2010.

In total, Anheuser-Busch provided the HSF with $500,000 in support in 2010.

"Thank you, Budweiser, for giving back to our community," HSF President Frank Alvarez said before a concert in LA. "A college degree is the best way to a better paying job and better life, and with your support we'll realize our common dream of a degree in every Latino household."

The partnership continues this year, with more scholarships to be awarded in each city on the singer's to-be-announced 2011 tour schedule.

Since 1982, Budweiser has donated more than $24 million and awarded 20,000 scholarships to HSF, the nation's leading non-profit organization that supports Hispanic higher education.

"Since 1982, Budweiser has donated nearly $23 million and awarded 20,000 scholarships to HSF, the nation's leading non-profit organization that supports Hispanic higher education."

Budweiser and the Anheuser-Busch Foundation will donate a scholarship at each concert venue to local chapters of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, which will provide an additional $100,000 for the organization in 2010.

"I am pleased to collaborate with Budweiser on projects that empower the community, especially the Hispanic Scholarship Fund," said Vicente Fernandez. "We are contributing to education by way of music."

"Budweiser's longtime support of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund has directly touched thousands of Latino students and made it possible to realize their dream of a college education and a future their parents aspired for them," said Frank Alvarez, president and CEO of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund. "We are excited Budweiser and Vicente Fernandez are teaming up to raise Latino community awareness about the importance of a college degree and are providing more scholarships. This is an example of a thoughtful corporation giving back to improve their community."

The tour is produced by Hauser Promotions and Live Nation.
