ABOUT THE WISCONSIN SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION
In 1987, LULAC Council #9900, previous sponsors of Mexican Fiesta, was renamed and incorporated as the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundation, Inc. (WHSF) targeted to serve the Wisconsin Hispanic Community.
The goal of the Wisconsin Hispanic Scholarship Foundations, Inc. is to raise funds to provide scholarships for the higher education of Hispanic students in the state of Wisconsin and to help preserve Mexican and other Hispanic cultures by having a truly authentic festival, which is Mexican Fiesta.
