Program works to counter low Hispanic attendance - Texas Christian University

A recent study found Hispanic students are choosing colleges and universities because they are close to home, which could be good news for schools like TCU that say they want to raise their minority student population.

TCU is in the middle of a community that has a high percentage of minorities - especially Hispanics - yet the number of Hispanic students at TCU remains low.

Fort Worth has a Hispanic population that accounts for nearly 33 percent of its total population, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates. Fifty-five percent of the students enrolled in the Fort Worth Independent School District are Hispanic, according to the district’s 2006-2007 profile.”*
