Hispanic Business Alliance Scholarship

The New Braunfels Hispanic Business Alliance (HBA) is a committee of the New Braunfels Chamber working to promote, advocate, and educate the Hispanic community.

Our goal is to create opportunities for local high school students to succeed and make education goals more attainable. We do this by bringing the annual Dia de los Muertos Festival to Downtown New Braunfels, celebrating Hispanic culture and raising funds to support our scholarship program.

Thanks to the success of the 2024 Dia de los Muertos Festival, up to ten, one-time scholarships are available in the amount of $1000. Recipients must plan to attend a college, university or trade school and a minimum of 12 hours must be taken in the semester. Checks will be made payable to the awardees.

All applications for the Hispanic Business Alliance Scholarship Program must be received no later than September 30, 2025. Late applications will NOT be accepted.
