Scholarships

Congratulations on your journey of pursuing a degree! 

Listed below you will find a range of scholarships, programs and applications that are available to Latinas and Latinos. So, share the news with family and friends.

There is a huge need for more Latino men in the field of healthcare. In fact, there is a critical shortage of men and women nurses. Many shortages are in our own communities. There are various areas of health care in nursing from visiting nurse, public school nursing, aesthetic/cosmetic, and even psychiatric and mental health nursing. The earnings potential varies with the degree.

Visit nursejournal.org https://nursejournal.org/resources/financial-aid/nursing-scholarships-for-men to learn about the various degrees available and scholarships available to both men and women.

The reality is there are workers needed in many fields from green energy to green farming to engineering and service workers and so much more. The jobs are out there. Do you have the training? Write a short list of what you’ve dreamt of and do the research and fill out the paperwork. You won’t know if you don’t try. If not for you – then do it for someone you know that could use some encouragement. Show them how to fill out applications, give them ideas to raise money to pay for fees, help them with their resume, their essay, give them pointers on how to dress for an interview. Sharing helps others and the reward of knowing you helped someone is a warm, wonderful, feeling. Como no!

We recommend that students check back here periodically for more opportunities and updates (Jan. 2022).
