Pueblo Hispanic Education Foundation

The Pueblo Hispanic Education Foundation (PHEF) helps students turn their educational dreams into goals and those goals into reality by providing scholarships for higher education to students in need from all backgrounds from Pueblo and Southern Colorado to assist them in achieving lifelong success.

PHEF was established in Pueblo, Colorado in 1988. The foundation focuses on removing financial as well as other barriers that might prevent students from securing an education and gaining employment. The foundation’s purpose is to secure funds for scholarships and other educational support for low-moderate income students. Over eighty percent of the money raised by PHEF goes to providing students with support and services.

The foundation is inclusive of all backgrounds in Pueblo’s community. Students don’t have to be ‘Hispanic’ to apply.
