Why is September significant?

National Hispanic Heritage Month goes from Sept. 15-Oct. 15. The month celebrates the contributions Hispanic ancestors from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America made to the United States.

The nonprofit facilitates multiple initiatives to support the community through education. Some of its programs include Middle School Achievers, Scholarship Program, and the Parent Enrichment Program to empower Hispanic/Latino parents to support their children’s education. The Hispanic League has awarded over $1.5 million in scholarships to students to attend an accredited college or university.
