Education has been at the forefront of AHAM’s community efforts. The organization believes that education is the key component breaking
down barriers, opening opportunities and improving the lives of both the Hispanic youth and the overall communities of the Upstate of
South Carolina.
Since 1999, AHAM has been working diligently each year to raise more money in order to make a young Hispanic’s dream of going
to college possible.
The efforts and hard work have slowly paid off. While the first scholarship award, in 1999 was only one of $1,000, this year’s amount was
increased to $20,000. Which will given on Saturday, June 9, 2007 at the Marriott Hotel-Airport in Greenville, SC. Six new bright young
Hispanic students will receive Scholarships to help their academic dreams come to reality.
Applicants must be High School Seniors attending a college
for the Fall semester after graduating.
Atention: Students that want to apply for AHAM 2009
Scholarships must request their application with their
school counselor.
