The scholarship is open to Latino students, but the applicant must be bilingual and focused on, or with a specific interest in, Hispanic marketing and advertising.
 
Students can be enrolled in any accredited institution, but preference will be given to those attending classes full time at the University of Houston, University of St. Thomas, Emerson College, Texas State University or The Florida State University.
