to our applicants
I would like to applaud and commend all students out there for pursuing your educational goals. Empowering ourselves through education is crucial especially in today’s era.
Students should not have to limit, shrink or abandon their goals due to financial barriers; on the contrary, students should be able to dream bigger than before knowing that financial help is available to them!
The Napa County Hispanic Network is committed to empowering students, raising funds to support various scholarship programs and help students get to the next level.
Napa County, let’s financially support our students in executing their educational goals, together.
To our donors, supporters and ambassadors, I would like to personally thank you for your long standing commitment and support, we now enter a new chapter in our organization and we would love to continue with your support!
Thank you,
Jorge Gonzalez

I'm captain of my track team demonstrating leadership, respect, and compassion. While also on the Honor Roll and Lamp of Knowledge with a 4.0 GPA, 1590 SAT with 18 Advanced Placement classes. I will attend Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI thanks to the NCHN. My goal is to earn a doctorate in physical therapy and use my bilingual skills to help people
My supportive soccer coaches helped my confidence and composure through difficult obstacles. My hardworking ancestry reinforces my dedication to my dreams and academics by earning a 4.23 GPA including 10 Advanced Placement classes. My goal is to major in Sports Medicine at UC Davis with determination to give back to my Latino community through medicine. I'm thankful to the NCHN for their help.
