Welcome to our Annual Fiesta de Mayo Celebration! On behalf of HACER we welcome everyone as we celebrate the accomplishments of our scholarship recipients.
The Hispanic Alliance for Culture, Education and Recognition (HACER) is a community service organization founded on Oct. 5, 1993 in Tulare, CA. Our purpose is to recognize, promote, and enhance leadership development of the Hispanic community and our youth in Tulare. We are dedicated to promoting higher education for our local graduating seniors. HACER has awarded $236,300 in scholarships to 376 very deserving local high school students. This year HACER is awarding 23 Tulare high school seniors with a total of $10,000 in scholarships. Thank you to lose Sigala, Tulare City Councilman and our HACER Members for their contributions in making it possible to provide these scholarships.
Today HACER is honoring 17 of those 23 seniors from the Tulare Joint Union High School District who were able to be present today. All the scholarship recipients demonstrate great promise for the future. These students have earned GPAs ranging from 3.5 to 4.5 while being involved in numerous school activities and contributing many hours by volunteering in community organizations. They have also received several honors in academics, music, athletics, theater, leadership, and outstanding character. Along with their parents, we are very proud of each student’s accomplishments, dedication to their education, and their outstanding character. We wish them continued success as they embark into their new college communities, future careers, and future leaders in their communities.
We will now introduce each student and present them with their scholarship, a certificate and a medal that can be worn at their graduation ceremony.
Congratulations to our 23 HACER scholarship winners that will be continuing with their post-secondary education this fall of 2026!
