New program provides Latino youth and college
students with access to educational grants and scholarships
TurboTax, from Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq: INTU), empowers the next
generation of Latino students to take control of their finances
with the launch of #LeadingConEducación. In partnership with the
Hispanic Heritage Foundation, Intuit TurboTax will award
educational grants and scholarships to high school seniors and
college students who are currently making an impact in their Latino
communities and are seeking financial support to pursue a higher
education diploma or complete their college degree.
“We are committed to serving underrepresented communities,
including the Latino market, by addressing inequalities in the
classroom that can help expand possibilities for job and financial
opportunities in the future.” said David Zasada, Intuit Vice
President Corporate Responsibility. “By providing financial
assistance through scholarships to those who don’t have access, it
will improve quality career readiness and will alleviate some of
the stress from Latino families trying to provide the right
education for their children.”
The multi-year #LeadingConEducación program also prepares young
Latinos financially through educational content, including a
webinar around finances and taxes, articles and a tax simulation
exercise. The webinar will be hosted by the Hispanic Heritage
Foundation covering topics such as budgeting, financial and tax
planning delivered by bilingual Intuit experts: CPA and TurboTax
Live expert, Miguel Burgos and CFP, Elaine King.
“Supporting Latino youth through education is key to enable the
personal and professional advancement of our communities,” said
Antonio Tijerino, CEO of the Hispanic Heritage Foundation.
“Initiatives like Intuit TurboTax’s #LeadingConEducación program
will have a tremendous impact in ensuring that our youth is well
positioned to succeed today and tomorrow.”
Intuit’s job readiness program includes helping students develop
the skills they need to be prepared for jobs in an innovation
economy. Intuit does this through its entrepreneurship and personal
finance programs which utilize products including TurboTax, Mint
and QuickBooks. Through this new corporate responsibility
educational program, students will be equipped to succeed and
overcome the fear of Tax Day forever. They will experience what it
means to file their own taxes and learn more about income taxes,
deductions, and much more!

program and how to apply for an educational grant you can visit the
#LeadingConEducación page. The 2021 educational grants application
process is currently open and will run through April 30, 2021.
