The total Hispanic population of the United States now outnumbers that of other minorities, but the percentage of Hispanics that attend college lags behind population numbers. Colleges and universities are actively promoting diversity through minority recruiting efforts that target Hispanic students. By reaching out to Latinos in high school and even middle school, institutions of higher education - especially bachelor’s and graduate level programs, are seeking to increase access for minority students. Scholarships and grants that specifically fund Hispanic higher education provide a leg up for minorities seeking an education beyond high school. 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.
