Initiative meets challenges of Hispanics in Arkansas ¡Hola! Arkansas Staff Writers
FAYETTEVILLE, AR – The Bilingual Scholars Initiative, a collaborative five-year effort of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, the University of Arkansas, NorthWest Arkansas Community College and the Springdale School District, aims to meet the unique challenges, many in the education system, of the growing Hispanic population in Northwest Arkansas. The initiative, which focuses on scholarship support for future teachers, college prep programs and campus-based scholar
chapters, will begin during the 2012-13 academic year. “We think bringing together the educational players and the local Latino community in this four-way collaboration is right for mutual Northwest Arkansas community gain,” said Frank D. Alvarez, president and chief executive officer of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund. “Helping inform and engage Latino parents in the education of their children is an important competency, and HSF is pleased to have been selected to play our role.” Continued on Page 9A
