The Hispanic college enrollment rate has more than doubled in recent years, surpassing that of Caucasian counterparts. Yet, only 1 in 5 Hispanic students actually earn a college degree. Colgate-Palmolive’s educational grant program will help jumpstart Latinos on their path to succeeding in college by providing financial relief via grants totaling $45,000.
By giving our young the proper tools to pursue a higher education, we ensure a brighter future not only for them, but for their families, communities, and the country as a whole.
