Scholarships for North Carolina’s Latino Students Becas para los estudiantes latinos de Carolina del Norte Education is an important part of our mission here at El Pueblo, Inc., and we have made it a priority in our youth outreach to aid and encourage North Carolina’s Latino youth to pursue higher education. We realize the cost of college can be a major financial barrier to higher education for Latino youth, but we also know that there are in fact ways to pay for college out there. It may just take some work to find them. El Pueblo, Inc. has compiled this list of scholarships for Latino students in North Carolina in order to aid them in their search for ways to pay for college. The scholarships are listed alphabetically. Scholarships with special program requirements are in a separate list following the general scholarships. At the end of the list, the names of the scholarships are also listed by the educational level of the applicant in order of deadline (fall to summer).
Scholarships that do not have a citizenship requirement are indicated by the symbol: . Local scholarships are indicated by the symbol: . Remember to check with your school’s Guidance Office or Financial Aid Office for local scholarships offered to students at your school.
