The siempre estimable Tomas Rivera Policy Institute has released a new report documenting the uneven availability of scholarships for Latina\/o students. “The study finds that although a tremendous amount of online scholarship information exists for Latino students, the information is widely varied, often outdated, and not actively disseminated to the communities who need it most.”<\/p>\n
So the committee report, “College Scholarships for Latino Students: Are Opportunities Being Missed?” is available here<\/a>, and even better, they created a new online gateway for Latina\/o students to find out about scholarship opportunities – see latinocollegedollars.com<\/a><\/strong> (opens in new window).
