This week I wanted to look into a club here on campus, the UA Hispanic Alumni Club, that is centered at promoting undergraduate and graduate students for their achievements, as well as providing financial aid to underprivileged Hispanic students, and making available the resources and networking for students seeking interest in the business world.
Its members are offered two different types of scholarships:
*UAHA Scholarship Application
*High School Counselor UAHA Scholarship Letter
In order to receive such a scholarship, students must exemplify a firm understanding of the Hispanic origin and community. Since 1966, there have been 1,368 scholarships awarded, worth a total of $3,084,944.
Receiving strong support from the Arizona Alumni Association, UAHA communicates with the President's Office, Student Financial Aid, the Hispanic-Chicano Resource Center, and the UA Foundation to reach out to its students in a helpful and effective way.
The UAHA is very involved in the community as it reaches out to communities across the country. Members have all been involved in the following: served on advisory boards, governing bodies, held public office, and have volunteered for civic causes.
UAHA's activities are vast and include:
*2006 Hispanic Heritage Day
*2006 Portrait of Excellence Dinner
*KUAT TV Hispanic Alumni Video
*2006 Diversity Expo
*Day of the Dead
*2006 Homecoming Photos
If you are interested in becoming a member, click here.
All former students are able to become a member if they have already completed 30 UA credits or more. If you have completed less than 30 units, you are able to become an associate member.
For all information, you can call 520 626 9327 or email UAHA at uaha@al.arizona.edu.
