Education Funding for Latino Students

There are constant rumors spread that Latino students, on the whole, are under-achievers. Racist and biased as this allegation is, one reason that there may be some truth to it is that there are fewer funds to assist Latino students, not merely to bring them into the mainstream, but to encourage them to continue their studies and prepare them for a brighter future than many of their parents may have had to look forward to.

A recent LA Times article told about Federal funds granted to Ventura College’s Santa Paula campus which claimed that the money was to be used to “boost” the educational performance of Latino students with new programs.
