By providing scholarships and support to Hispanic students, we are not only investing in individuals but in the future of our communities and economy. According to a report by the Latino Donor Collaborative, Hispanic individuals will account for nearly 85% of the growth in the US labor force by 2050. As the Hispanic population continues to grow, it is essential to ensure that they have the necessary education and skills to compete in the job market and contribute to the economy. Furthermore, research has shown that increasing Hispanic educational attainment can lead to significant economic benefits. A study by the Georgetown Center on Education and the Workforce found that if the Hispanic population had the same level of educational attainment as the non-Hispanic White population, it could result in a $1.5 trillion increase in the US GDP. Investing in Hispanic higher education is also essential for closing the wealth gap and increasing diversity in leadership positions. Despite making up a significant portion of the population, Hispanics are vastly underrepresented in corporate leadership, politics, and government. By providing opportunities for higher education, we can help close these gaps and increase representation and diversity in all sectors of our society. Overall, investing in Hispanic higher education is an investment in our future. It will not only lead to economic growth and diversity but will also help create more equitable and just communities for all. 1555 Broadway Ave, Second Floor  Pittsburgh PA 15216 U.S.A.
