The Hispanic Scholarship Fund, the largest financial aid organization for Hispanics in the United States, held its inaugural National Leadership Conference in Los Angeles last weekend, inviting 100 undergraduate students to attend from a pool of thousands of HSF Scholars.

Four students from New Mexico were selected, including two from Grant County: Jaime Miguel McCarthy, Silver High class of 2012, and Regan Ramos, Cobre High class of 2013. While at Silver, McCarthy was a New Mexico Boys State attendee, UC Berkeley National Student Leadership Conference attendee, National Hispanic Recognition Scholar, and member of the 2012 state champion track & field team. He is now a senior pursuing a degree in International Studies at the University of New Mexico. Ramos was a state champion baseball player while at Cobre and is now a junior at New Mexico State University.
