Dear frienDs, The Hispanic Business Council scholarship foundation Board of Trustees and advisory

Council would like to thank you for your interest in the HBCsf. We have compiled this

presentation to provide you with information regarding our mission, our history of

awarding scholarships and book stipends, and the responsibilities and rewards of serving

on the foundation’s Board of Trustees and advisory Council. We hope this background

along with the students’ testimonials will inspire you to join our network of individuals

and organizations that share your commitment and passion to help college-level Latino

students in new Jersey pursue their academic aspirations and professional goals.

in addition to getting involved with us in a trustee role or as a corporate sponsor,

we urge you to consider participating in one of our committees and/or acting as a

mentor to our scholarship recipients or, providing career-enhancing experiences such

as internships, career sessions at your place of employment or community service

opportunities. as many of you know, scholarship recipients are required to perform

80 hours of community service in order to receive their awards.

We are extremely proud of our track record of sustainability as a not-for-profit

organization serving the Latino community. Over the past 18 years, the HBCsf has

awarded over a quarter of a million dollars in scholarships. Please consider joining us

in helping continue this great tradition of “giving back.” Thank you again for your

interest and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hispanic-american Chamber of Commerce, the 501 (c) (3) non-profit status was finally

approved in 1998 and the scholarship foundation of the BCHaCC was born. The name was

legally changed in 2004 to The Hispanic Business Council scholarship foundation of new

Jersey, inc. (“HBCsf”), to reflect the foundation’s expanded reach to high school seniors and

current college students who are residents in every county in the state of new Jersey, not

just northern new Jersey.

professionals, leaders and valuable citizens of the community. We are a team

of committed individuals and corporations contributing our time, expertise and

resources to ensure the growth and success of our community.
