Dear Aspirante:
Since ASPIRA is a national organization working to further the interest of Hispanic youth, your desire to further your education is important to us and should be commended. The ASPIRA Association, Inc. does not currently provide financial assistance, but perhaps we can direct you to some organizations that might be able to help. In order to most effectively plan your search, you should contact the necessary organizations up to a year in advance. Your first step should be to decide on a few schools and contact their financial aid offices, asking about any scholarships or financial aid they offer to minority students. Be sure to explore all financial aid and scholarship possibilities, not just those opportunities targeted specifically towards minorities. The federal government has several major financial aid packages, work-study programs, and grants. You may contact their educational hotline at 1-(800) 433-3243.
If you live in or near Miami, Florida [2]; Chicago, Illinois [3]; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania [4]; Newark, New Jersey [5]; Bridgeport, Connecticut [6]; New York, New York [7], or Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico [8]; you may want to contact the local ASPIRA offices in those cities. They may be able to provide you with more specific information on scholarship and financial possibilities.
¡Felicitaciones! Congratulations! If you are on this website it is because you are planning going to college or are already in college, which means you already took several steps towards your success! The following are resources available from several different sources which will help you plan your next steps:
