Destapa Tu Futuro/ Uncap Your Future: $300,000 in Scholarships for Latinos!

I grew up in Guatemala, a country where very few people have the opportunity to attend college. I was truly lucky and privileged to have had the opportunity to pursue a higher education and understanding how fortunate I was made me appreciate and treasure that opportunity even more. When it was time to choose a career I wanted to create something tangible and make a difference and also wanted to be in a field that would let me be creative and let me work for myself if I chose to, so I studied architecture. I remember thinking that I wanted to be an architect so that I could express what being Guatemalan represented, architecture, like food and music, is an expression of a culture.

My culture, my Latino roots and my heritage makes me unique. Taking a look at myself as a Latina has helped me to open myself to other ways of thinking and to new perspectives. Embracing my uniqueness has not only boosted my self-esteem but also fueled my passion to reach my goals. Being Latina has opened many doors for me in the United States and having a college education has given me the opportunity to do whatever I want. I am now self-employed and it is my college education that made that possible because it gave me all the right tools to do what I love.

No matter what you want to do with your life a college education will help you get there!

Getting a college education is truly invaluable and that is why I am so excited to share with you a wonderful opportunity that you can take advantage of, but you have to act fast! I want to tell you about the Uncap Their Future Scholarship Srogram from Coca-Cola and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund. They are awarding $300,000 in college scholarships for Latinos.

If you’re 16 years of age or older you may qualify so apply before October 31. Don’t wait until the last minute. Go to www.hsf.net/cocacola before October 31 and apply for a scholarship by answering three thought-provoking essay questions. Students must reflect on how their heritage affects their career goals, the importance of education in their lives and their community service experiences.

The time is now to uncap your future. Visit www.hsf.net/cocacola and apply for a college scholarship today!
