         Hispanic College Fund and PepsiCo Launch New

                       Scholarship for Hispanic Students


In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, PepsiCo is partnering with the Hispanic College Fund (HCF) to promote higher education among Hispanic students. The 2009 Pepsi Hispanic Heritage Month program’s main feature, is a bilingual website (http://www.buildurdestiny.com<https://www.hcfconnections.org//page.redir?target=http%3a%2f%2fwww.buildurdestiny.com&srcid=1399&srctid=1&erid=4070900> or http://www.construyetudestino.com<https://www.hcfconnections.org//page.redir?target=http%3a%2f%2fwww.construyetudestino.com&srcid=1399&srctid=1&erid=4070900>), that will offer information and resources to help parents and students through the college application process.

The program will launch on September 14th and end October 18th to coincide with Hispanic Heritage Month. The site’s main feature is an opportunity for students to apply to a special merit scholarship, where the recipients will be selected by HCF.  Thirty PepsiCo scholarships will provide recipients with financial assistance for their college and post-graduate studies:

·     5 Major Awards – $4000 Tuition Scholarship each
·     25 Secondary Awards –  $500 Tuition Scholarship each

Entries for the merit-based scholarships will be accepted online.  Applicants will have until March 1, 2010, from their date of entry to submit paperwork required for consideration.  Evaluation, selection, notification and student acknowledgement of award will take place from March 2nd- April 30th.  All Scholarships will be awarded in September 2010.

The website will also feature a daily Hispanic Heritage Trivia question that will enter participants in a daily and weekly sweepstakes with spectacular prizes, such as notebook laptops.
