Latino College Dollars.org
Application deadline - Dec 31, 2012
type: Scholarships
College isn’t only available to wealthy families. In fact, most college students use some sort of financial aid in order to help pay for the costs of college – not just tuition, but books, living expenses, and housing.

Scholarships can play an important role in helping you pay for college. They are free money that you can apply for – and they don’t have to be paid back.

Best of luck as you work to find the financial support you deserve!
