Education has been at the forefront of AHAM’s efforts since its foundation. The organization believes education is the key component in breaking
down barriers, opening opportunities for success, 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 and volunteering each year to raise funds in order to make a young Hispanic’s dream of going to
college a reality. The efforts and hard work are slowly paying off. While the first scholarship awarded in 1999 was of $1,000, this year the amount
awarded was $ 27,000. The total amount of funds awarded since 1999 is $167,300. The total number of scholarship recipients is 86 exceptional
Hispanic high school seniors from Upstate SC. The Awards ceremony this year was held at 2 p.m. on May 17, 2011, at the University Center,
McAlister Square Auditorium in Greenville, SC.
