The Student Leadership Summit series, presented by McDonald’s, is a national series designed to inspire high school students to stay in school, improve their academic performance, graduate, and pursue a postsecondary education. Each year, McDonald’s selects 10 high schools, with a large Hispanic student body, to host this event.  

RMHC/HACER, part of the Ronald McDonald House Charities® U.S. Scholarship Program, is a scholarship designed to provide financial assistance to eligible Hispanic high school seniors who face financial obstacles as they prepare to attend college. Students are selected and awards are distributed based on demonstrated academic achievement, financial need and community involvement.
