Beginning in 2008, HABLA has highlighted a variety of local dignitaries and community influencers. HABLA honors nominees in four categories: Entrepreneur, Civic/Government, Corporate Executive and Unsung Hero. The HABLA Scholarship will be awarded to one Latino graduating high school senior or current college freshman or sophomore, in the amount of $1500.
