The Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), the nation’s leading Latino scholarship organization supporting
Hispanic higher education, will receive $352,500 over the next three years from FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX). This funding from FedEx will provide scholarships for deserving students and support for four community
education programs in local markets.

FedEx recently completed a previous three-year, $332,500 commitment that provided 15 four-year scholarships to deserving students. This renewal will fund five, four-year scholarships for each of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 academic years. This funding will impact HSF’s ability to continue the
current level of support to Latino students and help HSF work toward its mission of doubling the rate of Hispanics earning college degrees, to 18 percent.
