The Hispanic Bar Association of Austin (HBAA) Charitable Foundation and the Hispanic Scholarship Consortium strive to support students in their educational process through the HBAA scholarship. The scholarship allows aspiring lawyers to receive financial assistance while completing their undergraduate degree. Once the students are in law school they receive further assistance through the Foundation's partnership. In the 2017-2018 school year, the HBAA scholarship welcomed three new scholars and continued supporting three scholars.
