Below are scholarship opportunities offered by various organizations within the public and private sector. Please click on the website link to obtain applications or more information.  Our concentration was to provide Latino students in the State of Colorado with additional scholarship opportunities they may not know exists. Eligibility requirements for each scholarship varies. To research more scholarship opportunities, we encourage you to view books that are available at your local library, the Financial Aid Office at your college or university, or check with your high school guidance counselor or career center.  Finally, we recommend that you NEVER pay for a scholarship service and advocate that you use other FREE scholarship websites like www.fastweb.com or www.finaid.org. Although there are many options to explore when selecting what college or university to attend, you may wish to visit Hispanic Magazine's Top 25 colleges and universities for Latinos at: http://www.hispaniconline.com/magazine/2005/march/Features/top25colleges.html and Top 25 MBA colleges and universities for Hispanics at:  http://www.hispaniconline.com/trends/2004/sep/success/index.html The Latin American Educational Foundation provides these opportunities as a service to you and is not responsible for the content, application process, or selection criteria.  The board and staff at LAEF extends our best wishes and luck to you on your scholarship search! ¡Adelante!
