Hispanic Mother-Daughter Program
Learn more about your impact
The Hispanic Mother-Daughter Program was founded in 1984 at Arizona State University to address the shortage of women and women of color in higher education. The HMDP is an early-outreach middle and high school program designed to increase the number of first-generation Arizona students who are qualified and prepared to enroll at Arizona State University through direct family involvement. Today the program seeks to accept all students who identify as being a future first-generation college student with an aspiration to attend Arizona State University. Throughout the years, the overall goals of the program curriculum have never changed. HMDP is structured to actively include parents in the college-going process.

HMDP has now served over 2,357 parent-student teams.
"HMDP made it possible for me to attend Arizona State University, where I gained the experience necessary to jump-start my career in broadcasting. Without HMDP’s guidance, I know that attending college would have been much more difficult. I am tremendously grateful for what this program has done for me and my family."
