ABOUT US

The Hispanic Alliance for Education (HAE) is a non- profit organization that was founded in 1996 under the name Hispanic Employees Association of Montgomery County Public Schools (HAEMCPS). The organization consists of Hispanic employees of Montgomery County Public Schools and numerous Montgomery County citizens who are invested in supporting MCPS high school students of Hispanic descent support in their quest to obtain a college degree. Since its inception the organization has had as one of its goals to recognize and award the accomplishments of Distinguished Hispanic Scholars who graduate from Montgomery County Public Schools. From 1998 to 2016 the organization has awarded over $90,000 in scholarships to Distinguished Hispanic Scholars who have excelled in community service, leadership, and academic achievement.

The vision of the Hispanic Alliance for Education is to support the Hispanic Scholars of Montgomery County Public Schools by providing scholarships to assist with their college education. The mission of the organization is to fundraise to award scholarships to Distinguished Hispanic Scholars of Montgomery County Public Schools, who are recognized for their leadership, community service, and academic excellence.

With your support and donation, we will achieve our goal of recognizing one Distinguished Hispanic Scholars from each high school in MCPS annually. All donations collected go toward the scholarships. The Hispanic Alliance for Education is a non-profit organization whose members volunteer their time to support its goals and programs.
