A Legacy of Excellence

Un Legado de Excelencia

Visionary Hispanic leaders joined together in 1982 to establish the University of Arizona Hispanic Alumni Club. The Club is part of the UA Alumni Association and has provided millions in financial aid to thousands of scholars.

Líderes hispanos visionarios se unieron en 1982 para establecer el Club de Alumnos Hispanos de la Universidad de Arizona. El Club forma parte de la Asociación de Alumnos de la Universidad y ha proporcionado millones en ayuda financiera a miles de estudiantes.


 

Forty years ago, a group of university students banded together believing unity brought strength. Their hard work raised funds to cover their tuition expenses and established an academic cohort dedicated to Hispanic student success.

Hace cuarenta años, que un grupo de estudiantes universitarios se unieron creyendo que la unidad traía fuerza. Su arduo trabajo recaudó fondos para cubrir sus gastos de matrícula y estableció una cohorte académico dedicado al éxito de los estudiantes hispanos.

The legacy and original mission of our founders continues today. What once began as a band of students has evolved to a community-wide impact. Our fundraising efforts have grown to include multiple endowments, scholarships, and tuition waivers. 

El legado y misión original de nuestros fundadores continúa hoy. Lo que una vez comenzó con un grupo de estudiantes ha evolucionado a un grupo que impacta la comunidad. Nuestros esfuerzos y recursos han crecido para incluir múltiples donaciones, becas y exenciones de matrícula.

"At the University of Arizona Hispanic Alumni Club, we do more than award scholarships--we transform lives."
