“The University of Texas and the University of Georgia will try to come up with the best methods for recruiting, retaining and graduating Hispanic students under a $12.3 million project to be announced today in Washington by the Hispanic Scholarship Fund.

The initiative comes amid growing concern, in Texas and elsewhere, about the lagging pace of enrollment of Hispanics. Although Hispanics are the largest minority group in the nation and the fastest-growing segment of the population, they have the highest high school dropout rate and the lowest college graduation rate of any major racial or ethnic group.”
