Category: News Releases

In New York there was a tie for the number of the most likes, with both contestants getting more than 1,200 likes!  We are now announcing our second winner, Miss Ana Rodriguez. A little about Ana: She is Mexican- American and lives in the Bronx.  She’s currently a 10th grader.  At her high school she is studying design and construction because she wants to be an architect. She wants to go to college in Florida.

Her sister took her to the New Futuro event, after her Spanish teacher had encouraged her to go.

Hispanic Access Foundation participated in the New Futuro college prep fairs because we know that for families a college education is very important but that Hispanics are still not graduating from college at the rates this country needs for its economic future and prosperity.

How else has Hispanic Access Foundation be involved?

  • Executive Director Maite Arce is served as an expert panelist on a televised Spanish-language discussion with parents and students regarding meaningful access to college
  • HAF Board Member, Marta Sanchez and HAF team member Liz Neuenschwander gave presentations to parents and students titled, “Family Involvement in Education” and “Pathway to College.”
  • H&R Block sponsored Hispanic Access’ involvement in the New Futuro events, so to find us follow the signs for the H&R Block booths and workshops.
