TESTIMONIALS
MEET OUR 2016 AWARDEES
ANA DIVIS REED
Ana Reed is attending University of Missouri St. Louis as a graduate student of the Master's program in Social Work.
'I realized that in order to continue helping others through my profession here in the U.S, a graduate level education was necessary - so going back to school was a must. I'm grateful to the Hispanic ECS Fund for helping me mitigate the high cost of education; their scholarship will allow me to completely cover the cost of books for my first year of grad school'.

'The HECSF Scholarship has been significant help in helping me subsidized for the loss of academic scholarship lost due to transferring to Truman State University after my studies in Mexico.

Most importantly, however, it will allow me to pursue a higher education so I can major in Biology and give back to the community. It has always been my dream to attend an university, and this scholarship has made that dream come true. Thank You."
