Content: Historically, the Hispanic population of the United States has been considered undereducated – due to some significant social and economic anomalies that have kept Hispanic Americans from finding their place in the U.S. system of higher education. The trend is moving in the right direction, with more Hispanics earning college degrees than ever before. Hispanic Students Overcoming Cultural Educational Challenges
Since the early 1990′s, the percentage of Hispanic students moving directly from high school to college has risen dramatically. In 2010 alone, university enrollment among Hispanics spiked, with a 25% increase over the previous year. During the same period, enrollment percentages among white students actually went down. The increase in Hispanic college students is supported by a parallel trend that has more Hispanics graduating from high school today, than at any time in history. For the first time, colleges and universities now have greater numbers of Hispanic students enrolling than students of African American descent. The economy plays a role too, since the modern job pool requires larger numbers of college educated workers to fill vital employment roles. To access well paying jobs, Hispanic students are embracing higher education through outreach programs that target them for college enrollment. One of the most consistent obstacles for Hispanic students has been a lack of financial resources.
