Hispanic College Fund to Open Scholarship Application
$2 Million in College Scholarships Available for Hispanic Students in 2009
Hispanic College Fund to Open Scholarship Application
Washington, D.C.—In line with its mission to develop the next generation of Hispanic professionals, the Hispanic College Fund (HCF) will open applications for its 2009 scholarships on December 15, 2008. Scholarships will be available for undergraduate and graduate students who are seeking cutting-edge careers as engineers, pharmacists, nurses, doctors, hotel executives, chief financial officers, and much more.
Ranging from $500 to $10,000, most scholarships are renewable. Students can apply at www.hispanicfund.org/scholarships.
In 2008, 112 students from California received a scholarship from the Hispanic College Fund.
“I was excited to find out that I was awarded a scholarship from HCF this year,” said Mario Rosas, a 2008 Hispanic College Fund Scholar and current freshman at the University of Texas at El Paso. “Without financial assistance from the Hispanic College Fund, I would not otherwise be able to pursue my degree in metallurgical and materials science engineering or network with top-level employees at Lockheed Martin, my scholarship sponsor.”
In 2009, as in past years, students who are awarded a scholarship will be eligible for Hispanic Young Professionals (HYP). HYP is a competitive program that brings 35 high-achieving HCF scholars from around the nation to Washington, D.C., for leadership and skill-building workshops on mentoring, networking, resume writing, and more. Students even find opportunities to land a summer internship or a job with some of the nation’s major corporations.
“In 2008, HCF awarded more than 600 scholarships to deserving students from across the nation,” said Idalia Fernandez, president of the Hispanic College Fund. “We encourage students to take advantage of the opportunities these scholarships provide for them. In addition to helping finance students’ educations, we open doors for our scholars by welcoming them into our professional network.”
In 2008, 49 percent of HCF scholars majored in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields; 34 percent majored in business-related fields; 15 percent majored in the humanities; and 2 percent majored in fine arts.
Job opportunities in STEM, business, hospitality, and health care are growing due to the burgeoning talent gap left by the retiring baby boomers. Latino students can fill that demand while also bringing their culture and experience to professions where Latinos are underrepresented.
The online application and eligibility criteria for all scholarships are available at www.hispanicfund.org/scholarships.
Students can also receive college and career tips by signing up for the Hispanic College Fund newsletter at http://www.hispanicfund.org/newsletter-sign-up/.
About the Hispanic College Fund
Founded in 1993, the Hispanic College Fund is a nonprofit organization that provides Hispanic high school and college students with the vision, resources, and mentorship needed to become community leaders and achieve successful careers in business, science, technology, engineering and math.
The Hispanic College Fund has an annual budget of $6 million with 20 full-time employees. In 2006, the Hispanic College Fund received the Brillante award for "Nonprofit of the Year" from the National Society of Hispanic MBAs, and in 2007 was recognized by USA Today as one of the nation's top 25 charities.

Students even find opportunities to land a summer internship or a job with some of the nation’s major corporations.
“In 2008, HCF awarded more than 600 scholarships to deserving students from across the nation,” said Idalia Fernandez, president of the Hispanic College Fund. “We encourage students to take advantage of the opportunities these scholarships provide for them. In addition to helping finance students’ educations, we open doors for our scholars by welcoming them into our professional network.”
In 2008, 49 percent of HCF scholars majored in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields; 34 percent majored in business-related fields; 15 percent majored in the humanities; and 2 percent majored in fine arts.
Job opportunities in STEM, business, hospitality, and health care are growing due to the burgeoning talent gap left by the retiring baby boomers. Latino students can fill that demand while also bringing their culture and experience to professions where Latinos are underrepresented.
The online application and eligibility criteria for all scholarships are available at www.hispanicfund.org/scholarships.
Students can also receive college and career tips by signing up for the Hispanic College Fund newsletter at http://www.hispanicfund.org/newsletter-sign-up/.
About the Hispanic College Fund
Founded in 1993, the Hispanic College Fund is a nonprofit organization that provides Hispanic high school and college students with the vision, resources, and mentorship needed to become community leaders and achieve successful careers in business, science, technology, engineering and math.
The Hispanic College Fund has an annual budget of $6 million with 20 full-time employees. In 2006, the Hispanic College Fund received the Brillante award for "Nonprofit of the Year" from the National Society of Hispanic MBAs, and in 2007 was recognized by USA Today as one of the nation's top 25 charities.

MoveOn:
National Field Organizer Job Description
Location: Flexible
Goal: MoveOn National Field Organizers will build and develop the massive grassroots network we need to
win Obama's agenda for progressive change. By combining traditional person‐to‐person organizing, scalable
online organizing, and intensive leadership development, we're creating a new model of grassroots
mobilization. It's volunteer‐driven, staff‐lean and exceptionally powerful. Our small team of staff organizers
will be at the center of creating and driving our organizing program and will have a chance to make a major
impact in a key year.
Background: With nearly 5 million members, MoveOn is uniquely situated to organize for real progressive
change. In the coming year, MoveOn will organize a massive campaign to help President‐elect Barack
Obama pass progressive legislation to end the Iraq war, win health care for all Americans, address the
climate crisis, and move to a green‐jobs economy. The backbone of this effort will be the MoveOn
Councils—a national network of committed, trained volunteer leaders and teams. Nationally, there are
16,000 active leaders organized into nearly 200 city‐wide Councils. Over the next year, MoveOn
Council volunteers will organize rallies, vigils, protests, petitions, district meetings, and other creative tactics.
Our actions will back up Barack Obama and win big on national issues. As a National Field Organizer with
MoveOn, no two days will be the same. You’re responsible for harnessing and expanding the power of the
MoveOn Council volunteer network. That means on any given day you might be working one‐on‐one with

region and then work on building more in the places where MoveOn members aren’t currently organized.

leadership development model and bringing new members into our organizing.
* Trainings. To increase our volunteers' skills level, you'll be running trainings over the phone and in person.
You’ll also help create new trainings focused on the needs of volunteers in your region.
* Rapid response. When news breaks, our network needs to respond immediately. Whether it's rallies or
house parties, you'll make sure your region responds forcefully when we need to spring into action.
Skills and experience:
* At least 2–3 years of grassroots organizing experience (or related experience).
* Excellent leadership development skills. You should be ready to do what it takes to turn someone into
a great leader.
* A strong self‐starter, entrepreneurial. You don’t need someone to tell you what to do, and you have new
ideas on how to make things work even better.
* A good manager. You’ll be managing a team of volunteer organizers and will need to be ready to support
their work and solve problems creatively.
* Hard worker. You can work flexible hours and manage your time independently.
You know that saving the world doesn’t just happen between 9 and 5.
* Comfortable with a virtual office. You are fine working at a distance with dozens of colleagues scattered
around the country.
* Willing to do what it takes to make a project come off‐‐low ego, high focus on getting stuff done.
* Comfortable with technology and spending lots of time on the phone.
Salary: Salary is highly competitive, from $40,000 to $50,000 a year. Also includes health & dental
insurance, generous vacation, and other benefits.

MoveOn:
National Lead Organizer Job Description
Location: Flexible
Goal: To build and develop the massive grassroots network we need to push through Obama's agenda for
progressive change. By combining traditional person to‐person organizing, scalable online organizing, and
intensive leadership development, we're creating a new model of grassroots mobilization. It's volunteer
driven, staff‐lean, and exceptionally powerful. Our small team of staff organizers will be at the center of
creating and driving our organizing program and will have a chance to make a major impact in a key year.
Background: With nearly 5 million members, MoveOn is uniquely situated to organize for real progressive
change in this country. In the coming year, MoveOn will organize a massive campaign to help
President‐elect Barack Obama pass progressive legislation to end the Iraq war, win health care for all
Americans, address the climate crisis, and move to a green‐jobs economy. The backbone of this effort will be
the MoveOn Councils—a national network of committed, trained volunteer leaders and teams. This now
encompasses over 16,000 volunteers organized into nearly 200 city‐wide coordinating Councils. Over
the next year, MoveOn Council volunteers will organize more rallies, vigils, protests, petitions, district
meetings, and other creative tactics ‐‐ all designed to back up Barack Obama and win big on national issues.
As a National Lead Organizer with MoveOn, you’ll manage some of the best organizers in the county and
help us develop our organizing model, which combines cutting‐edge technology with tried‐and‐true
grassroots organizing techniques. As a National Lead Organizer, you will be the organizational expert about
what’s working on the ground, all around the country, and that perspective will help shape each organizing
action we take.
Responsibilities:
* Managing a team of 4‐5 organizers. You'll work closely with your team as they work to develop their
regions. Most of this work will be done remotely.
December 10, 2008
* Trainings. To increase our volunteers' skills level, you'll be running trainings over the phone and in person.
You’ll help create new trainings focused on the skill needs of members in your region.
* Rapid response. When news breaks, our network needs to respond immediately. Whether it's rallies or
house parties, you'll make sure your team of organizers responds forcefully when we need to spring into
action.
* Developing our organizing model. We're constantly fine‐tuning our approach to organizing. You'll be
responsible for identifying what's working and what's not—and then coming up with ideas to make our
model work even better.
Skills and experience:
* At least 3–5 years of grassroots organizing experience.
* Experience managing a team of organizers and running campaigns. Ready to help develop organizing staff.
* Experience running trainings and organizing events.
* Excellent leadership development skills. You should know what it takes to turn someone into a great
leader.
* Strong self‐starter, entrepreneurial. You don’t need someone to tell you what to do, and you have new ideas
on how to make things work even better.
* Hard worker. You can work flexible hours and manage your time independently. You know that saving the
world doesn’t just happen between 9 and 5.
* Comfortable with a virtual office. You are fine working at a distance with dozens of colleagues scattered
around the country. You can manage organizers at a distance.
* Willingness to do what it takes to make a project come off. Low ego, high focus on getting stuff done.
* Comfortable with technology and spending lots of time on the phone.
