In Minnesota and in every state of the United States of America, educational disparities between Latinos
and other groups continue to be one the biggest challenges towards the prosperity and overall wellbeing
for those communities. There is a clear need for an equitable access to education and a need to invest in
the training of future generations by targeting resources to those which need it the most. Latinos are the
fastest growing minority group in Minnesota, but the most poorly educated. One of the factors in this
disparity is the current crisis that Latinos face when pursuing higher education. Not enough Latino’s are
going to college and those who do enroll are at risk of never completing. The primary reason why
Latinos students do not attend and/or complete a college degree is because they do not understand how
to prepare for college or even why they should attend. It is in the best interest for the State of Minnesota
and key stakeholders to find ways to begin the process of narrowing the gap between Latinos and higher
education. This project proposes a program that would help Latino youth access and navigate higher
education. [-]
