Tip: A very interesting report has recently been published by the The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education (an independent, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization) and Public Agenda (a nonpartisan, nonprofit public opinion research and citizen education organization). The report is called "With Diploma in Hand: Hispanic High School Seniors Talk About Their Future" and it talks about the obstacles faced by Hispanic students in completing a college education. The major findings were, among other factors, that some students suffer from a lack of support from knowledgeable, education-savvy adults; a lack of knowledge about sources of financial aid; and underexposure to the planning, discipline, follow-through, and resources that are required to successfully attend college. The project made use of focus groups, and there are many quotes and statements from students that explain and enliven the report.
