Cash Prize for Hispanic Heritage Essay Contest

September 20, 2024


We are celebrating culture this Hispanic Heritage Month in addition to honoring generations of resilience, creativity, and impact. From art to innovation, the Hispanic community continues to shape our world in powerful ways. Let’s uplift, honor, and keep making history together!
You can be a part of the celebration by encouraging your child to take part in the 17th annual Hispanic Heritage Student Essay Contest for a chance to win a $3,000 scholarship or an iPad. Middle and high school students in Milford are asked to write how they connect with Hispanic culture in 500 words or less.
Participants can select a person, cultural experience, celebration, or tradition that has touched them in a meaningful way and explain why that connection is important. Optimum and Univision Foundation are sponsoring the competition and will accept essays through October 31. There will be a celebratory event for the winners in December.
