This calls for a celebration!
The Hector and Gloria López Foundation (HGLF) has awarded a more than $2.100万赠款 圣. 爱德华的 University — benefiting first-generation Latino students. Beginning in the Fall of 2023 and for the next five years, 15 López Scholars will receive full tuition assistance, as well as other resources including mentorship, 辅导, 住房, study abroad programs, 带薪实习, leadership development and more.
St. 爱德华的 is the only 奥斯丁 institution — and the first private university in Texas — to receive this grant. Through our new partnership with HGLF, the López Scholars grant will solidify the hilltop as a destination university for first-generation Latino students.
