Each campus has student organizations to help mitigate these circumstances. HSF has established student clubs at 36 campuses across the country.
  • The role of the HSF Scholar Chapter Network is to promote academic success and student engagement among Latino college students by encouraging them to serve as role models and leaders in their communities. Each chapter has a student coordinator trained by HSF who receives guidance on curriculum and programming to assist Latino students on their campus succeed.
