For Immediate Release
Los Angeles, CA - January 8, 2007 The Tomás Rivera Policy Institute (TRPI) proudly announces the release of an updated and expanded version of its popular scholarship directory, Latino College Dollars: Scholarships for California's Latino Students. The directory, which was originally released in early November 2006, has been viewed online more than 15,000 times and quickly sold out its initial print run.
Now in its second printing, the directory has been expanded to include more than 20 of the largest national scholarship funders, providing millions of dollars of additional scholarship opportunities for California's Latino students.
Printed copies will be distributed through The Sallie Mae Fund's national "Paying for College" Bus Tour, which launches its California tour today. Additional scholarship directories will be distributed by the Tomás Rivera Policy Institute, and by the Hispanic Scholarship Fund at their programs throughout Southern California.
Funding for the second printing was made possible with a special grant from The Walt Disney Company. Funding for the original project was made possible with funding from The Sallie Mae Fund, Southern California Edison, and The Walt Disney Company.

Don't Be Fooled!
A genuine scholarship can help to pay for college, but beware of con artists. The Federal Trade Commission says complaints about scholarship scams rose to 4486 in 2004. Up from just 670 in 2003!
A financial aid service is probably fake if:
There's any application fee for a scholarship.
There's any advance fee for an educational loan.
A scholarship is "guaranteed."
Be suspicious if you're told that:
"Billions of dollars of aid went unclaimed last year." That's simply untrue.
"We apply on your behalf." The reality: You must always submit your own application for a scholarship.
"We have a high success rate." In fact, fewer than 1% of the people who pay for scholarship services actually obtain one.
For more information: including legitimate (and free) ways to find scholarship money, to to www.FinAid.org on the Web.

Confused about all those academic, state required, exit and college entrance exams you're required to take? Are you not even certain when you're supposed to take these important tests? Well, rest assured you're not alone. There are plenty of confused students (and parents) out there. Good thing for you there's a handy guide that clears up this most confusing matter. Your saving grace is the Planning Guide for Students and Parents which is now available on the school district's Web site. Read it, use it, love it.
