Hispanic Scholarship Fund Recieves Large Grant from Chrysler

The Chrysler Foundation will be providing a $50,000 grant to the Hispanic Scholarship Fund. The fund is the nation's largest provider of college financial aid for Latino students. This grant will provide support to Hispanic students that are in the study of the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This latest offering will be the next in a long line of support that Chrysler has had with the HSF, a relationship that started back in 1986. Since that time, Chrysler has given more than 25 grants to HSF totaling more than $750,000.

The grant was announced during the keynote presentation at the Michigan Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's annual Fiesta Hispana Gala that was held in Dearborn, Michigan. Fred Diaz, the president and chief executive officer of Chrysler de Mexico and Ram Truck Brand said, “The future of our country, indeed, the future of Chrysler Group, more and more demands that we take an active role in supporting the development of highly motivated, highly trained technical leaders with diverse backgrounds. Chrysler is committed to ensuring that a diverse group of leaders drive the next era of innovation which fuels the country's economic growth.”

Chrysler has long been considered a leader in diversity. The company was just recently recognized by Diversity Inc magazine in their March issue's 2011 “Top 50 Companies for Diversity.” This will be the fifth year that Chrysler has made the list since the magazine started the list in 2001. Chrysler has also been given acknowledgment by Hispanic Business for its strive for greater diversity. The magazine honored the company for having strategies that reached out to more Hispanic customers and for pursuing business with minority suppliers. The company has earned this every year since 2009. Chrysler is a company that is always looking for new ways to be more encompassing and more welcoming of anyone who is a perfect fit for their company.
