[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Black Student Fund and Latino Student Fund help students of African-American and Latino heritage, respectively, navigate the private school admissions process.  For the Latino Student Fund, for example, they have something called the "Access" program where they offer advice and support on the application and financial aid process.  They have relationships with a lot of the independent schools and I believe have helped steer some young children into pre-K/K programs in addition to older children.  [/quote]

The scholarship for the Latino fund is $500 a year.  This will hardly put a dent in $25K tuition.

It requires an application and then commitment to attend events during the year. [/quote]
The Black Student Fund is worse. You literally have to be living in squaller with no lights before you get a nickel from them; and if you're living like that applying to independent schools is the furthest from your mind.[/quote]

That's not the point. I work in a private school and the value of the BSF and LSF is not in the funds they provide, but in the fact that Private schools looking to keep their non-profit books square use these agencies to supply applicants who will help them to maintain their non-profit status or their voucher fund income.[/quote]
