The Hector and Gloria López Foundation was founded to honor the legacy of Hector and Gloria López, married business partners and prominent community figures from South Texas who viewed their higher educational opportunities as the basis for their economic prosperity. Grants from the foundation have the dual objective to put Latino students on an educational path to economic prosperity and to meet the job demands of the growing Texas economy and population.
