Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN Texas - Today Texas State Representative Robert R. Alonzo joined the National Hispanic Caucus for State Legislators (NHCSL) of which he is a proud member in announcing the John S. Martinez Leadership Scholarship program. The application period is now open and the deadline to apply is September 14 2012.
In light of the current economic situation coupled with the fact that tuition institutional fees and the overall costs of getting a college education continues to escalate I urge all qualified students to apply for this NHCSL scholarship said Rep. Alonzo. Moreover as those costs increase the accessibility and affordability of a college education continues to become more out of reach for average hard-working families. Thus it becomes more imperative that our youth and their families take advantage of scholarship programs like this one. I applaud organizations like THA that are helping us meet those demands continued Rep. Alonzo.
The NHCSL Scholarship program which is possible due to a generous contribution from Comcast is targeted to college-bound Hispanic high school students. The scholarships are awarded based on a selection criteria and are selected by an independent review committee.
This year we are proud to announce that the program has been expanded from traditionally being limited to 3-4 states to applicants from any state as long as they reside within the district of a NHCSL member legislator. Additionally we have nearly doubled the number of scholarships.
While resources are limited our goal is to have more qualified students apply for the scholarship to identify the most needy and ideal recipients. To apply students are directed to visit the website directly at http://nhcsl.org/closing-the-achievement-gap.php <http://nhcsl.org/closing-the-achievement-gap.php> . The website link includes a copy of the application and other criteria. Again the deadline for submitting applications is September 14 2012.
