The HSF Scholar Chapter Network exists to promote academic success and professional preparation among college students, while encouraging them to serve as role models and leaders in their communities.
Role of the Scholar Chapter Network

HSF has less than 60 employees to outreach and support the needs of Latino students and their parents nationally, therefore, Scholar Chapters play an integral role in:
– Supporting Latino students on campus both academically and professionally

college preparation – Extending the efforts of HSF sponsored events and
programs by serving as volunteers
