There are a lot of college grants and scholarships for students of Hispanic ancestry. However, a majority of the scholarships have specific, narrow, limiting eligibility requirements. Many of the scholarships are restricted to high school students, specific fields of study, specific geographical location, or school. We will present a list of grants and scholarships for Hispanic/Latino/Latina/Latinx students with the least amount of restrictions for eligibility requirements. Below this relatively-short list, will be another list of resources for grants and scholarships that are more specific with their eligibility requirements.
The Hispanic College Fund Scholarship Program (HSF)
Sponsor: Hispanic College Fund (HSF)
Probably, this is the FIRST website (source) that you should visit. This organization provides MULTIPLE scholarships and the eligibility requirements vary with the different scholarships. HSF teams up with a variety of corporate sponsors to provide scholarships.

I do not know for sure how many "Scholar-Intern Programs that CHCI provides now, but they did provide six Scholar-Intern Programs. This was their message:

CHCI offers six Scholar-Intern Programs that provide not only monetary support, but hands-on experience in various fields. From media to health care to business, CHCI's Scholar-Intern programs will help you gain important skills while earning money for your education.
