The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) has announced applications for the 21st annual ¡Lánzate!/Take Off! Higher Education Travel Award Program are now open. Since 2004, this signature program administered by HACU has awarded Southwest Airlines tickets to students pursuing higher education (undergraduate and graduate) to help them stay connected with their families and communities.
Awards are made based on demonstrated financial need, distance from home, educational barriers, and the potential impact of travel support on a student's academic and professional success. Eligibility requirements include enrollment at a college/university located at least 200 miles from a student's home and the submission of required essays.
Online applications will be accepted through June 15, 2025.
