September 10, 2025 – Cincinnati, OH — In a promising step toward expanding educational opportunities for Latino students, the LULAC Ohio Educational Foundation (LOEF) has welcomed a new scholarship sponsor: the Hispanic Pioneer Alliance (HPA), a recently launched organization serving Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati.

LOEF President Laura Moese and Young Latino Professional member Julieth López attended the HPA meeting by special invitation from board members Nelly Reyes and Becky Astaiza. The gathering marked a pivotal moment for collaboration between two organizations committed to uplifting the Latino community through education, leadership, and innovation.

Inspired by LOEF’s impact, HPA enthusiastically agreed to become the foundation’s newest scholarship program sponsor—solidifying a partnership rooted in shared values and vision.

Founded in August 2025, HPA aims to support Latino pioneers in business, education, and civic leadership. Their decision to invest in LOEF’s scholarship initiatives signals a strong dedication to fostering talent and opportunity across the region.
