The Massachusetts Hispanic Scholarship Fund (MAHSF) and Berkshire Bank have come together to increase our commitment built on our strategic partnership announced in 2023. The bank continues its lead sponsorship status with MAHSF as we address some of the most challenging issues Hispanic students and families face in navigating scholarships and provide an impactful scholarship of our own. The bank will continue to serve as our key banking partner for our charity as we continue to grow our organization and serve additional students.
The Berkshire Bank in the 2023-2024 academic year has joined us in our multiple activities and events at Chelsea High School, where they have come together with MAHSF to discuss key financial literacy and teach students about debt, credit and securing their identity.
Berkshire Bank, headquartered in Boston has focused on investing in communities for over 175 years. Berkshire Bank believes that a better world requires a better approach to banking. Its history as a financial institution was started as a bank to the American worker and their heritage is focused on uplifting the communities they serve.
For the 2022-2023 school year, the Massachusetts Hispanic Scholarship Fund has been working with Lawrence High School (LHS) to engage with students, guidance, faculty and parents and provide an impactful scholarship. In 2023-2024, we will continue to work with LHS and expand to work with Chelsea High School.
