Prospective Students

La Casa Latina, the Latinx Coalition, and the Cipactli Latino Honor Society want to help Latinx high school students in pursuing higher education. We believe that Latinxs are too often overlooked during college guidance and recruitment, and/or are not supplied with enough information to properly prepare themselves for the college search and application process. Below is a resource list of both local and national site links that we hope will guide and support students throughout this process, as well as inspire and encourage Latino juniors and seniors to continue their studies after high school.
