The HNBA Legal Education Fund is the only non-profit organization affiliated with the Hispanic National Bar Association, and supports the Hispanic National Bar Association’s educational and charitable missions, including identifying and providing financial assistance to worthy programs that address education and the law within the U.S. Hispanic community and legal profession.

Programming by the HNBA Legal Education Fund includes law student scholarship funding, such as the Special Counsel Hispanic Scholarship Fund and scholarships presented through its joint venture with the HNBA for the annual Uvaldo Herrera National Moot Court Competition; its joint venture with the HNBA for community outreach and education initiative designed to instill confidence and trust in the U.S. legal system called La Promesa en el Derecho™ (The Promise in the Law); and its joint venture with the HNBA for the HNBA Journal of Law and Policy, a bi-annual publication published by the Hispanic National Bar Association.

We have awarded $20,000 in scholarships to the winners of the
HNBA's 17th Annual Uvaldo Herrera National Moot Court Competition.
