LATINA EMPOWERMENT SCHOLARSHIP

Promoting the public, corporate, and civic engagement of our HWNT membership remains a key objective for the Hispanic Women’s Network of Texas. In partnership with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, HWNT is awarding scholarships to members for professional and leadership development.

The scholarships are intended to advance professional opportunities by acquiring required certifications or licenses that advance the HWNT member’s career or participation in national, state or community leadership programs. The funds are not used for college or university scholarships.

The Latina Empowerment Scholarship provides one-third of the cost of the leadership or certification program. The applicant must cover the remaining cost of the certification or program. To be eligible, the HWNT member must submit all applicable forms and questions to State Chair at hwntstate@hwnt.org.

Applications for this scholarship are available until funds are exhausted.

To be eligible, the HWNT member must:

- Be a current (paid) member for a minimum of two years.
- Be a member of an HWNT committee at the local or state level for two (2) years and must maintain membership up to date for two (2) years after this award.
- Submit a formal letter of interest to HWNT Board.
- Submit a copy of the application and acceptance letter to the leadership or other program for which the member is applying.
- Must submit a copy of the invoice for the total cost of the program from the leadership program.
- HWNT reserves the right to request additional information from the organization providing the leadership program.
- A member cannot receive funds more than once within a three year period.
- Failure to maintain active membership could result in reimbursement.
