What are the various scholarships for the Hispanic women?

The Hispanic population is the largest minority population in the US, overcoming the African-American population. Based on the 2006 census the Hispanic population constitutes 15% of the entire US population, around 100 million Hispanic-Americans in the US. The Hispanics with such a major part of the population play an important role in the labor, but despite this fact they end up earning too low wages. The jobs done by these Hispanics are not usually providing suffice income, the money barely provides them with the daily essentials. Moreover being non citizens they are deprived of getting all the benefits.

The most suffered among the Hispanics are the women. They have to pass various obstacles while creating a comfort zone for their families in the immigrant land. This is due to scarce sources of income and financial crisis. Most of them lack college education and hence stand no chance of attaining a good income job. This loop hole in itself proves to be the solution, as opting for college education will help in attaining a good job in future. It is always a better idea to opt for specialized fields as very few among the minorities are there.
The sad plight of the Hispanic-Americans has attracted various public and private offices towards sponsoring various scholarships for the Hispanics. Hispanic scholarships for women are more in vogue. Now undergraduate as well as graduate scholarships both are being provided, hence making higher education possible for the Hispanics.
Various institutions are functioning within the US, which reward Hispanic women with varied scholarships. Below are listed the famous and most relied institutions providing the Hispanic women with varied scholarships. These institutions support the Hispanic women both morally as well as financially.
