“According to stats compiled at Armstrong Atlantic State University, 70 to 80 percent of Hispanic students who apply for enrollment are accepted.

Only 5 to 15 percent of them actually graduate.

The reason is clear — students must drop out of school because of financial need. An organization called HOLA Hispanic Outreach and Leadership at Armstrong is working to change that.”
