Current Initiatives

HBSA takes it upon itself to help students and the community through its initiatives.

1. HBSA Scholarship Fund

   The Scholarship Program was established two years ago to provide students with opportunities that would enable them to reach their business career goals. The number of Hispanic students at the University of Washington Business School Undergraduate Program does not reflect the growing population in the Northwest region. Furthermore, many students in the past have been forced to suspend their education at the Business School program because they were not able to meet their financial needs.

2. Member Development

   HBSA strives to make its members prepared for life after college while still having fun. Our membership development initiative includes bringing in company representatives to talk about topics relevant to our members, having workshops, make our members financially literate, and attending other events and conventions.

3. Financial Literacy

   HBSA recognizes how vital a financially literate population is and strives to make all of its members financially literate as well as others in the community. In the communty, HBSA sends its members to high schools to give financial seminars developed by the FDIC, the Money Smart program. By making more latinos in high schools financially literate, HBSA hopes to help empower the future generations of latinos.
