We would like to congratulate Brother Martin 9th-grader Oscar Pineda for being awarded a scholarship by the New Orleans Hispanic Heritage Foundation!

From the New Orleans Hispanic Heritage Foundation website:

"The New Orleans Hispanic Heritage Foundation (“NOHHF”) is a non-profit community organization whose main purpose is to cultivate and promote the Hispanic heritage within the New Orleans community and the greater region. The NOHHF supports activities that provide an opportunity to experience Hispanic culture through art, education, culinary flavors, and music with the aspiration of creating a stronger more diverse and culturally rich community.

The NOHHF is governed and managed by a board of volunteers, many who are local professionals and all of whom are committed to the Foundation’s valuable mission. 

The New Orleans Hispanic Heritage Foundation seeks, encourages and supports talented Hispanic high-school students by providing them with educational scholarships at local schools participating in the NOHHF Scholarship Program. Since 1993 the NOHHF has awarded over 1082 high school and freshman-year college scholarships to high-achieving students who attend schools in our area and go to distinguished Higher Education Institutions in the Country. These students go on to be responsible leaders and make substantial contributions to the betterment of our community."
