<p>Hi and welcome to the Hispanic Students forum!</p>
<p>If your PSAT score and gpa qualifies for NHRP, there is still time to become a NHRP Scholar or Hon Mention. It doesn’t matter what you marked on the PSAT or what you are designated at your school, they know that the Hispanic category is confusing and that there is much misinformation about who is considered Hispanic. If you are recorded as non-Hispanic at your HS, I recommend that you have your parents correct that information as it may be on your transcript.</p>
<p>See the NHRP thread and the first post will take you to the website. There you will see that if you are at least 1/4 Hispanic (including Spain), then you qualify.</p>
<p>Also, on the last page of that thread you will see that it is not too late to send in your information. Call NHRP and then have your HS GC send in your information before Dec 1.</p>
<p>If you haven’t read it already, this thread addresses Spaniards and it contains a link to another thread that discusses the other factors that come into play within Hispanics:</p>

<p>If you want anecdotal information, you might want to Search the old Results threads on the H subforum and see if any of the applicants were of Spanish descent (although many times people only state ‘Hispanic’, which is not too helpful).</p>
