Message from CHCI
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) is proud to

present the National Directory of Scholarships, Internships, and
Fellowships for Latino Students. This represents the 6th edition of
this valuable resource, the only publication of its kind to provide a
comprehensive list of scholarships, internships, and fellowships
targeting Latino students and young professionals.
Hispanics are the largest and youngest minority group, with a

projected growth of nearly 40 percent over the next two decades.
While Latino children account for the second largest group of
students in the nations schools, 25 percent have less than a ninth
grade education. Today the Latino high school dropout rate stands at
40 percent four times higher than non-Hispanic whites. Nearly half
of Latino students leave school by the eighth grade and more than 88
percent of Hispanics do not possess a bachelors degree.
While these statistics paint a challenging picture for the Latino

community, they also threaten the success of our nation. At least one
out of every two workers entering the U.S. labor force in 2025 will
be of Hispanic descent. By 2030, if projections hold, over 50 percent
of the Latino population will be under 24 years of age. As a Latino
student, it is essential that you earn a high school diploma and gain
the skills to succeed in college and the workplace.
Through our nationally recognized and award-winning leadership

development programs and resources like this directory, CHCI
helps students find the financial support and hands-on experience
necessary to complete their education and move on to successful
careers.
There are no limits to what our nations growing young Latinos can
achieve. We hope this unique and comprehensive directory helps you
on your pathway to success!
Sincerely,
Esther Aguilera
President & CEO
Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute
