Providing scholarships for graduating Hispanic high school students with financial needs is a mission of the Hispanic Education Coalition of PBC (HEC) and La Vuelta Palm Beach – HEC. Scholarships target high-achieving students destined for university or vocational studies. Last year, seven $2,500 scholarships were awarded.
These scholarships will be named after the scholarship donor at the senior award ceremony. These generous individuals and/or business representatives will have the opportunity to present and personally meet the selected recipient. The donors will be featured on our website and recognized at the ride.
