Hi Jennifer,

* You need to begin researching schools that you are interested in attending. You have the option of going to a community college (2-year institution), or a private or public university (4-year institution). This is very important because you want to make sure that you pick the school that is right for you. Use the internet to research some schools of interest and take a look at their student population, their professors, their programs, etc. Here are a few questions that you may want to ask yourself when researching:

1.) Do I want to stay close to home or go to an out-of-state college?
2.) Do I want to go to a big school or a smaller school?
3.) What are the graduation rates of Latino students?
4.) Does the school have a diverse population of students?

* Once you have your list complete, you will need to go onto the website of each school and go under their "Undergraduate Admission" section. You will either be able download an application or apply directly online. Make sure to read the requirements and organize any documents that you will need to send along with your application.

* Under our website, go to our “Resources” page, which has a lot of information about college. Scroll down to the following topics: “Scholarships and Financial Aid”, “Mentoring Programs”, “College Selection”, and “Community Colleges”. While I encourage you to read all the topics on that page, these four may be of extra help.

Good luck!
