Scholarship Fund Wants a College Graduate in Every Hispanic Household

The Hispanic Scholarship Fund is announcing a new effort today to
increase college-going and college-completion rates among Hispanic
Americans, with the goals of having a college graduate in every
Hispanic household by 2025 and increasing the proportion of the U.S.
Hispanic population with a college degree from 19 percent now to 60
percent by 2025. The scholarship fund, which is working to build
college aspirations among Hispanic families through a public-service
advertising campaign, estimates that reaching the 60-percent goal
would result in a $13-trillion increase in earning power among the
Hispanic population, leading to a $2.2-trillion increase in federal
tax revenue.
