The Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has teamed up with the University of Phoenix/Apollo Group, Inc. to provide two full-ride scholarships to students seeking an undergraduate or master’s degree.

The annual scholarships, the Emerging Business Leader Scholarship and the Small Business Enterprise Scholarship, cover all tuition and fees, as well as course material.

To be eligible for the Emerging Business Leadership Scholarship, applicants must be employed by a “Los Amigos Corporate Member” of the Arizona Hispanic Chamber and be identified as having senior level management potential. To be eligible to apply for the AZHCC Small Business Enterprise Scholarship, applicants must be a small business “principle” owner and a member of the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

The deadline to apply for the scholarships is July 17. To apply, visit http://evtnow.com/366. For more information, contact Susette Coumides at susettec@azhcc.com or (602) 294-6082.

    Obama is a true racist. Why does the US President hate the advancement of the standard of living for Mexico’s poor? Barrack Hussein Obama; how dare you deprive Mexico its young educated and motivated people? These illegal aliens now in the US are the only hope for Mexico and you want to keep them here in the US. They could start businesses, create jobs, and improve the standard of living for the poor people of Mexico. Yet you want to be selfish and deprive Mexico of these talented youth who could make life better for all the people of Mexico. SHAME ON YOU! Have you no compassion for the poor now living in Mexico? Gustavo Arellano, Steve Gallardo, Nicky Diaz Santillan, and La Raza need to insist that all these young educated and talented Mexicans be sent back to Mexico to help improve the standard of living for the poor Mexicans. Are you with us for the good of Mexico and its people?

    The Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce works to promote the success of Hispanic-owned and small businesses in the State of Arizona. Hispanic Business Enterprise scholarship recipients may choose to attend a University of Phoenix on-ground campus or may attend University of Phoenix online.
    Applicants for the scholarship (who reside in the United States) must meet one of the following requirements to be considered:
    Be a legal resident of the United States; have been granted permanent residency; have a valid visa that does not prohibit educational studies; have been granted temporary protected status along with approved Notice of Action issued by Citizen Immigration Services and verified through CIS Form g-845; or have been granted asylum along with the approved Notice of Action issued by the Citizen Immigration Services.

    Besides Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce team scholarships . . . The Tucson Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation has awarded over $200,000 in college scholarships to Hispanic high school seniors in Arizona.

    There already are a number of illegal immigrant college students that are receiving financial aid at public colleges and universities in Texas, Kansas, Maryland, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. Four years of college, with $100,000 break on college tuition if they are illegal aliens.

    The Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce scholarship recipients, teamed up with the University of Phoenix/Apollo Group, Inc., and financial aid at public colleges in other states, has nothing to do with President Obama’s decision for immunity from deportation for young illegal immigrants that will be placed on the path to amnesty/citizenship.

    Wow what about the non hispanic students who's parents can't pay for their kids due to paying such high taxes to support the millions of hispanics illegally in this country? Sounds racist to me. To the comment about Obama being racist, well he has one goal, to be reelected and he is using mexican's to make sure he gets the latino vote. He is willing to suppress the people he swore to protect, you really believe he cares about you mexican's. Besides they can only work for two years and then they can be sent back, which they should be!

    Apollo Group is George Soros funded, liberal organization. To my liberal-minded friends, the election draws near. To my Tea Party patriots, patience my friends, patience.
