Scholarship and Financial Aid Resources |
| Education is an important part of our mission here
at El Pueblo, Inc., and we have made it a priority in our youth outreach
to aid and encourage North Carolina’s Latino youth to pursue
higher education. We realize the cost of college can be a major financial
barrier to higher education for our Latino youth, but we also know
that there are in fact ways to pay for college out there. It may just
take some work to find them. El Pueblo has compiled this list of scholarship
and financial aid resources to show the large amount of resources
available to Latino students and to aid students in their search for
ways to pay for college. If you have questions or need help with the scholarship and financial aid search, feel free to contact our Higher Education Coordinator Amanda Giese at (919) 835-1525, ext. 227 or email her at amanda@elpueblo.org. |
