Tomás Rivera Policy Institute Announces Release of Expanded California Latino Scholarship Directory

The Tomás Rivera Policy Institute (TRPI) proudly announces the release of an updated and expanded version of its popular scholarship directory, Latino College Dollars: Scholarships for California’s Latino Students. The directory, which was originally released in early November 2006, has been viewed online more than 15,000 times and quickly sold out its initial print run.

Now in its second printing, the directory has been expanded to include more than 20 of the largest national scholarship funders, providing millions of dollars of additional scholarship opportunities for California’s Latino students.

Printed copies will be distributed through The Sallie Mae Fund’s national “Paying for College” Bus Tour, which launches its California tour today. Additional scholarship directories will be distributed by the Tomás Rivera Policy Institute, and by the Hispanic Scholarship Fund at their programs throughout Southern California.

Funding for the second printing was made possible with a special grant from The Walt Disney Company. Funding for the original project was made possible with funding from The Sallie Mae Fund, Southern California Edison, and The Walt Disney Company.
