The HPGM Scholarship Program was created to address the additional financial barriers that many Latino students face in the pursuit of post-secondary education or training. The program supports the education, retention, and graduation of Latino students in Wisconsin.

HPGM awards two types of scholarships:

• HPGM Scholarship: Open to students pursuing a 2-year, undergraduate, or graduate degree in any major or training program at a Wisconsin college or university.
• HPGM Law Scholarship: Awarded in partnership with the Wisconsin Hispanic Lawyers Association (WHLA) to students enrolled in law school at Marquette University Law School or University of Wisconsin Law School. One student per school is awarded.

Students are presented with their scholarship at the HPGM Scholarship Reception in the spring where they can meet sponsors and higher education partners face to face.
