PAUL & DAISY SOROS FELLOWSHIPS FOR NEW AMERICANS
AND
MEXICAN AMERICAN LEGAL DEFENSE AND EDUCATIONAL FUND (MALDEF)

I set out to review the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce's site, but stumbled across so many outdated links in their Resources section, I decided to save you the frustration and mention just a couple of the good sites.

One is the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans, with a fast-approaching November 1 deadline. The fellowships provide opportunities for "able and accomplished New Americans to achieve leadership in their chosen fields."

Another is MALDEF, the site for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, which sponsors $1,000 to $3,000 Law School Scholarships, and the Ellen and Federico Jimenez Scholarship, available next year to qualified Latino students.

Complementing Latina Style's list, this is probably the mother of "best" corporate lists for women -- The 100 Best Companies for Working Mothers.
