The university has been recently recognized for its high enrollment and awarding of degrees to Hispanic students, as well as being a leader among Hispanic Serving Institutions engaged in a federal international exchange program.

The honor is another indicator of the university’s commitment to unleash the potential of people from all backgrounds.

Seven UCF graduate students will receive tuition scholarships, living stipends and paid internships funded through a national program.

The tech company and Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities has selected UCF as a preferred partner for a program that will help students and recent alums learn digital skills.
