PONTE LAS PILAS!!

YOU'RE IN HIGH SCHOOL NOW AND GRADUATION IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!

HAVE YOU ASKED YOURSELF:

Which opportunity is right for me?

Do I even know which choices are available?

Even if I know, how will I get the doors to open for me?

These are all good questions, and your Indiana Latino Institute Coach is here to help!

The Indiana Latino Institute (ILI) created this book to help Latino students find academic and career training during and after high school.

"ILI helped me find DACA scholarships."

"ILI helped me apply to college and financial aid."

"ILI helped me find my career."

ILI provides Indiana students with preparation workshops, professional development, mentorship, coaching opportunities, and Education Summits throughout their high school and college years.

Just like an athletic coach will train you to perform for a championship game, a college or career coach prepares you for a championship life after high school. Our coaches know how to:

Navigate application processes

Complete financial aid forms

Explore possible careers

Assist in securing internships

7th & 8th

Here are some hints to making your middle school and high school years prepare you for all the opportunities that will be available to you after high school!

During the 7th to 8th grade, you need to enroll in the 21st Century Scholar Program

WHAT IS A 21ST CENTURY SCHOLARSHIP?

DO MY PARENTS HAVE TO BE CITIZENS OF THE US FOR ME TO BE ELIGIBLE?

DO I HAVE TO DECIDE NOW WHAT I WANT TO DO AFTER I GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL?

DO I HAVE TO PAY TO BE PART OF THIS PROGRAM?

If a student is an Indiana resident, they can possibly attend college or vocational school for free! No! No! No!

YOU NEED TO ENROLL BEOFRE JUNE 30TH OF YOUR 8TH GRADE YEAR. YOU ARE NO LONGER ELIGIBLE AFTER THIS DATE.
