HCI -Hispanic College Institute
We empower Latinx students in the Commonwealth of Virginia with the tools to succeed.
From our Hispanic College Institute at Virginia Tech, to our newest program the Hispanic STEM Academy at George University, to our yearly Encuentro hosted by different higher ed institutions throughout the Commonwealth, to the hundreds of volunteers that fuel our organization - we are proud to be entering the second decade serving our communities.
We are 2500+ strong: our students are proud to attend Virginia Tech, The University of Virginia, William & Mary, James Madison University, George Mason University, Radford University, Marymount University and other Virginia institutions. They are Gates Millenial Scholars, entrepreneurs, business and civic leaders, and leaders in our communities.
We continue to grow thanks to the generosity of our partners, supporters, and friends. Thank you! ¡Muchas gracias!
Encuentro 2021 Registration opens in early winter.
HCI 2021 applications open in early spring.
