About HBCSF:
- After granting scholarships every year since 1993 under the auspices of the Bergen County Hispanic-American Chamber of Commerce, the 501 (c) (3) non-profit status was finally approved in 1998 and the Scholarship Foundation of the BCHACC was born. The name was legally changed in 2004 to the Hispanic Business Council Scholarship Foundation of New Jersey, Inc. (HBCSF), to reflect the Foundation's expanded reach to high school seniors and current college students, who are residents in every county in the state of New Jersey, not just northern New Jersey.
- During the course of 20 years, from 1993 through 2013, the HBCSF has granted $415,000 to approximately 160 students. The foundation started by granting a one-time $1,000 award to each student. Since students are eligible to apply every year, as long as they meet the scholarship criteria, the foundation has granted up to $8,000 to several students.
