ince its establishment in 1985, The Hispanic National Bar Foundation (HNBF) has been led by Hispanic lawyers who overcame the odds and became successful attorneys and community role-models. Over the years, the HNBF has grown into a national organization providing programs, scholarships, fellowships, and other resources to inspire educational achievement within our communities.

The Hispanic National Bar Foundation believes that knowledge and diversity benefit everyone. As the U.S. Hispanic population increases in size and influence, the success of our students becomes a matter of national significance. The HNBF recognizes that a lack of opportunities, role models, information, and financial support are often barriers for Hispanic youth. Our goal is to provide programs that remove these barriers along with the tools and resources necessary to ensure full and equal opportunity, just as the founding members envisioned.
