To maintain the LULAC scholarship, recipients must complete at least 5 hours of volunteer work at Hispanic/Latino organizations in the area, such as Su Casa Hispanic Center, Santa Maria Community Services, English Language Learners Foundation, the Hispanic Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce, and others.
