Academic Scholarship

The Heartland Latino Leadership Conference & Expo (HLLC) will award academic scholarships to Latino youth and adults wishing to pursue a post-secondary education in the state of Nebraska. The HLLC's goal is to develop the skills and awareness necessary for effective working relationships among community professionals and businesses in this exciting time of social and cultural change. HLLC provides scholarship opportunities to emerging Latino leaders of this region to help achieve this goal. The scholarship fund is made available through the generous support of HLLC donors and sponsors.

Applications for the 2008 HLLC Academic Scholarhip are due by October 1, 2008. Download the Academic Scholarship form (PDF). The application includes directions on how to submit your materials.

Reduced Admission Conference Volunteer Program

The Heartland Latino Leadership Conference offers an opportunity for students and individuals facing financial hardship to attend the conference at a very reduced cost. We have a very limited number of slots available for the Reduced Admission Program. Selected participants must contribute Ten Dollars ($10) towards the administrative costs of the program. Individuals interested in applying should review the application criteria in the Reduced Admission Volunteer Application.

Participation in the program will be finalized upon notification of the recipients and payment of the $10 fee.
