Donate-Scholarships
Your generosity is extremely important for Latino Townhall to continue its mission of equiping and empowering Latinos as
transformational leaders. Currently, we seek scholarship donations for students enrolling in our private postsecondary leadership school for the September 2011/2012 academic year.
According to The Latino Education Imperative a Huffington’s Post article written by Giselle Fernandez:
The stats say it all and cast the same frightening projection: By 2020, Latinos are expected to represent close to 25 percent of the country’s 18-to-29-year-old population. In ten years, nearly ten million Latinos will be 15 to 24 years of age, accounting for nearly a quarter of the total US college-age population. In key states like California, Texas and Florida, the Hispanic population is even bigger, as much as 40 percent of the population and growing. But only 19% of Latino kids are graduating with an Associate of Arts degree, and only 12% with a Bachelor of Arts degree. This compared to 29% of Blacks, 39% of whites, and 59% of Asians.”
