In our continuing efforts to support our communities and reinforce the value of learning, the Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is pleased to announce that we will be partnering, once again, with Capital One in awarding two $5,000 scholarships for deserving students in the Hispanic community in Virginia. We hope to identify two high school graduating Seniors who have excelled in the areas of:

- Leadership
- Community Involvement
- Academic Excellence
- Extracurricular Activities

Interested applicants should compose a short essay of one and a half pages articulating how they have demonstrated excellence in the above areas. The essay and a copy of your transcript must be submitted directly to the Virginia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

The composition and transcript must be postmarked (US mail) by Friday, April 4th, 2008. We will be reviewing all applications and narrowing the pool to a select few, for final interviews with representatives from COF and the VAHCC. The two winners will be invited to join Capital One as their special guests at the Annual Hispanic Gala, which will take place April 15, 2008 in Richmond at The Science Museum of Virginia.
