We believe the answer is you.
For more than 20 years, Excelencia in Education has advanced excellence and Latino student success in higher education because the promise of our nation depends on developing the talent of Latino — and all — students. You share a deep and abiding faith in our community of common cause and in our collective capacity to significantly improve the success of Latino, and all, students. Together, we are ensuring more college graduates drive social and economic mobility in their communities and throughout the nation.
Excelencia’s approach is deliberate, grounded in data, strengthened by leadership, and tested by practice. We work with college and university leaders who replicate what works and hold themselves accountable for advancing student success and producing outcomes for students, families and communities. Excelencia unities leaders committed to transforming higher education to advance the human capital our country needs to thrive.
The Futuro Fund is how individuals like you make this work possible. It is a direct investment in Excelencia’s long-term strategy to accelerate higher education success for Latino, and all, students.
