The Hispanic Heritage Luncheon is the primary fundraising event for the HBAA Foundation, which awards scholarships that enable economically disadvantaged Hispanic college students to become lawyers and ensure diversity in the legal profession, especially in our local community. Funds raised from the event will provide scholarships for college seniors who wish to take the LSAT review course, and scholarships for law students to help defray the costs of studying for the bar exam.

The Hispanic Bar Association of Austin believes one of its primary responsibilities is to help and encourage Hispanic students who have an interest in attending law school so that the legal community can have a larger percentage of practicing Hispanic lawyers. As the Hispanic population grows in central Texas, we want to grow the number of practicing Hispanic attorneys.
