The Hispanic Scholarship Alliance of Greater St. Louis (HSA) traces its founding to 2007.  In 2008, five Hispanic not-for-profit organizations in the St. Louis region joined formally in support of efforts to increase the number of Hispanic and Latino students pursuing college/university education and/or vocational schooling.  

Students supported by these scholarships demonstrate an intent to improve the socio-economic and cultural well-being of the Hispanic community in the St. Louis region specifically and the world in general. The members of HSA are:

Bolivian Society of St. Louis

Colombian Society of St. Louis

Grupo Atlántico

HACEMOS, Hispanic/Latino Employee Association of AT&T 

Hispanic Educational, Cultural and Scholarship Fund (Hispanic ECS Fund)

Hispanic Festival, Inc

Hispanic Leaders Group of Greater St. Louis (HLG)
