Jose Marti Scholarship Challenge Grant Fund

• One of Florida's most well-known scholarship and grant resources for Hispanic students is the Jose Marti Scholarship Challenge Grant Fund. Available to students of Hispanic origin who plan to attend a Florida public or eligible private institution, the fund provides financial assistance on a need-based and merit basis. To be considered, students must be a Florida resident, be of Hispanic origin, hold a minimum 3.0 GPA and be enrolled in an eligible college or university. Undergraduates and graduate students must complete an Initial Student Florida Financial Aid Application, as well as a Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Miss Florida Latina

• Though more of an unconventional scholarship opportunity, young Hispanic women can turn to the Miss Florida Latina competition. Open to Latinas ages 14 to 17 (Teen Division) and 18 to 27 (Miss Division), the Miss Florida Latina program seeks to raise cultural awareness, while giving young women a shot at scholarship money and other prizes. To be considered, those interested must submit an application, along with a photo and $25 fee. Once received, potential contestants will be contacted with further directives.

To apply, students must have at a 2.5 GPA, submit a completed application and include an unofficial college transcript.
