Student Testimonial
“My name is Martha Hernandez and this past May I graduated from Carroll University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a Pre-Medicine emphasis. As a first generation college graduate, it was difficult to navigate the college application process. It is thanks to the support of my family and the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation (WHSF) and Mexican Fiesta, that I stand one step closer to my goal of becoming a physician. The WHSF has supported many aspects of my studies; professionally, with mentorship and financially, through scholarships. With events such as the Annual Students Forum, I have been able to meet and network with professionals in my field. During the summer as an intern, Mexican Fiesta has taught me the necessary skills to thrive in any professional environment. Lastly, with the financial burden that a college education meant to my family, the Mexican Fiesta scholarship was a relief. This scholarship reminds me that my community believes in my dreams just as much as my family and myself. Without the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation, my education would be harder to attain.”
