Abstract

Financial aid plays a critical role in the postsecondary education of Latino students. However, very little comprehensive information is available about the sources or amount of financial aid Latinos receive to pay for college. The goal of this brief is to use the most recent data available to provide timely and accurate information about how Latino undergraduates participate in financial aid programs. The brief also offers some policy recommendations for consideration.
