Sponsor a HAAP scholarship! www.haap.org The Hispanic Academic Achievers Program (HAAP) has supported over 500 students with scholarships in the Columbia Basin region. We have proudly offered over $1.5 million in scholarship across our thirty-year history. HAAP has never been in a better position to support student success in higher education. According to Pew Research, college enrollment among Hispanics has reached a record high. College-going rates have increased from 22% to 37% among Hispanics (U.S. Department of Education). Our HAAP scholars are often first- generation college students. During the annual HAAP scholarship ceremony, we discover incredible stories of student leadership, community service, and personal resilience. We also honor families and loved ones who have supported student achievement. We know that each student who transitions to higher education is creating a lasting legacy in their family. The HAAP model celebrates academic success beginning in the fourth grade, and numerous students grow up with the intention of becoming a HAAP scholar during their senior year. HAAP’s 30th Anniversary program is on April 26, 2019 at the Toyota Center. Families from Finley, Kennewick, North Franklin, Richland and Pasco school districts will gather in celebrating our local youth. Founded in 1991, HAAP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and led by a team of volunteers. We are immensely proud of the opportunities HAAP has provided to students and their families. We ask you to support our ongoing efforts with a gift to the Hispanic Academic Achievers Program scholarship fund. We hope you join us in celebrating the future of our community.
