WHAT IS HDAFW?
The Hispanic Debutante Association of Fort Worth is a non-profit organization. Our main goal is to encourage Hispanic students to complete high school and continue their education in an accredited two or four year-college, university or vocational school. We aid in this endeavor by providing social, cultural awareness, exposure to business leaders, and financial support in obtaining a higher education. Our association believes that these are areas in which we can have a positive impact on the Hispanic Community in Fort Worth.
The scholarship program lasts one academic year from August until May.
