Are you Latino? Thinking about college? Don’t know quite where to begin?
Start here. The Latino College Assistance Guide will help you prepare for the college application process, examine your financial alternatives, identify the schools right for you, succeed at higher education, and move ahead on your career path.
For over 20 years author Bob Howitt, Executive Director of the WKBJ Foundation, has worked one-on-one with hundreds of Latino students—many who were new to the country or had documentation challenges—in their pursuit of higher education. The Latino College Assistance Guide gathers together the lessons learned by these students into a valuable resource for high schoolers considering college. Their stories and insights will help guide you through the process and enable you to make the choices that are right for you. Includes an extensive library of website links to connect you to additional sources of useful information.

After a successful career on Wall Street, an extended stint as a homeless shelter volunteer, and executive leadership of a rescue effort at a leading New York City youth agency, Bob turned his attention to education. He created the WKBJ Partnership, which provided seed capital for North Star Academy Charter School (later to evolve into Uncommon Schools) and which became the centerpiece of his life’s energies: directly assisting over 300 financially challenged young people to pursue their educational aspirations. As an outgrowth of Bob’s interaction with a great many Hispanic immigrants, he subsequently established the Hispanic Information Center. The subject matter of his blog is indicative of the breadth and depth of his interests.
