Over the next ten years, the goal of our far-reaching partnership, the Hispanic Global Alliance is to reduce this gap and help tens of thousands more Hispanic students study abroad. The Hispanic Study Abroad Scholars Scholarship is one of the main components of our partnership Global Learning Semesters has committed to making available at least $8 million in scholarship funds to HACU students over the next ten years. Each HACU Institution will be able to nominate at least one Hispanic Study Abroad Scholar each semester. The scholarships are for $1,000 and represent as much as 33% of host institution tuition.
