The Gilbert and Jacki Cisneros Foundation works to cultivate a community that supports Latino education, and aim is to identify and support the key factors that lead to Latino student success.
By supporting effective education policy and promoting awareness of the distinct circumstances that affect first-generation, college-bound Latino students, the foundation creates an environment that is inclusive, effective, and sustainable.
One of their most recent endeavors has been to fund the analysis entitled, “From Selectivity to Success: Latinos at Selective Institutions,” which examines the profile of Latino students at the most selective institutions in the U.S. and reviews the institutional efforts at four universities in California to frame a better understanding of factors that might explicitly and intentionally support Latino student success.
