BACKGROUND The LULAC National Educational Service Centers, Inc. (LNESC)was established in 1973 as a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation by LULAC. LNESC's primary function is to provide educational programs for Hispanics and other youth. The LULAC National Scholarship Fund (LNSF)was established in 1975 to provide scholarships to Hispanic students attending colleges and universities. Under the LNSF program, local LULAC Councils raise scholarship monies in their communities and LNESC supplements the money raised by the councils'efforts with funds raised from corporations and individual donors. This partnership enables both parties to maximize the impact of their scholarship efforts in the Hispanic community. 11. OPERATING PRINCIPLES A. Partnerships: The LNSF program seeks to develop collaboration between the Hispanic community, the business community and students to promote excellence in education. Under the LNSF "Partnership" concept, LNESC supplements scholarship funds submitted to it by LULAC Councils which: 1. Endorse the goals and objectives of the LULAC National Scholarship Fund. 2. Demonstrate a commitment to local scholarship programs by raising funds from within their communities. 3. Provide scholarships to deserving college bound students. Funds raised for the LNSF program by LNESC will be allocated proportionately among the LULAC Councils participating in the LNSF program. B. Participation: Participation in LNSF is open to LULAC Councils in good standing as determined exclusively by the LULAC National Office.Any question or dispute regarding the standing of a LULAC Council will be determined by LULAC National with no input or opinion being expressed by LNESC. C. Qualifying Funds: 1. Funds raised locally and deposited with LNSF within the required time(by March 1st) will be considered in determining the amount of supplemental funds to be allocated to the Council. All Councils submitting funds by the deadline receive the same supplementation rate. 2. Funds must be raised directly by the participating LULAC Council from local sources. Funds raised by third parties (including schools and colleges)and funds raised from national corporations and their branch offices will not be supplemented. 3. Funds raised from sources which restrict awards to a select group of students will not be supplemented. The Council's selection process must be open to any eligible Hispanic student in the Council's local community. 4. An existing council will be allowed to submit no more than $18,000 to LNSF for supplemental funding per school year. First time councils will only be allowed$6,000 per school year. D. Awards: 1. Councils will select recipients in accordance with the requirements listed in the LNSF Student Applications.1/12- 2. Applicants are eligible for three types of scholarship awards: National Scholastic Achievement Awards, Honors Awards, and General Award. The criteria for each are as follows: National Scholastic Achievement Awards($2,000) Criteria for Entering Freshmen: Student must be enrolled full-time in a college or university and have a GPA of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale or equivalent;AND Student must also have scored 29 or higher on the ACT test, or 1350 or higher on the SAT test. Criteria for Currently Enrolled College Students: Student must be enrolled full-time in a college or university during both scholarship disbursement periods and have a GPA of 3.5 or better on a 4.0 scale or equivalent.

The LNESC Scholarship Committee will review each LULAC Council application for compliance with the objectives of the program and to determine eligibility. The LNESC Scholarship Committee will notify the participating LULAC Council of the specific amount of the supplementation by April 1. The Council should set the number and amount of its scholarship awards to equal the council funds plus the national supplemental amount. If a Council wishes to round up the last scholarship to match the amount of the others, it must submit the additional funds needed before the scholarships are disbursed.This additional amount will not receive supplemental funding. C.

All applications are subject to review by the LNESC Scholarship Committee. Applications will be rejected if it is determined that the selection was the result of preferential treatment at the local level. D. LULAC Councils will receive the first scholarship disbursements and certificates by July 15, and the second scholarship disbursements by January 15. LULAC Councils are responsible for ensuring that students are enrolled in college before awarding them their second disbursements. E.
